I have now after following ChistophE's suggestions.
I still get nothing when attempting to play something. But warnings
and erros that is.
I have an XMMS player on my kde menu. It just doesn't work but
quietly no warning etc. (Also it is so tiny I can hardly see it.. and
seems no way to enlarge it -- I use a large desktop resolution)

It was set to autodetect .. I changed it to alsa, but shouldn't that select
alsa anyway? Soon as I changed it, I immediately got this waning
dialog box:
Sound Server informational message
Error while initializing the sound driver
device: default can't be opened for playback (No such device)
The sound server will continue using teh null output device.

I did install alsa-utils and ran alsaconf. /etc/modules.d/alsa looks
like this:
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
# Set this to the correct number of cards.
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF version 1.0.11rc2 ---
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
Should the oss stuff be there?
I've put alsasound into run level 3 and rebooted.
On starting kde I still get a dialog message about the sound server
being unavailable. No play tools work.
(lsmod output at the end)
Running the command line util `play' on a wav file shows this:
