Bug Description
I'm running an up-to-date version of Feisty (upgraded from Edgy, rather than a re-install) on a fairly high-end AMD box. Sound worked fine under Edgy, but now I get a strange error when I try to play a sound. This is in a pop-up dialog box:
audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing.
This is what I get when I use the Sound Preferences panel and click Test in the Sound Events section, with the pulldown set to ALSA.
From the command line, if I try to play an MP3 with aplay, I get:
ALSA lib confmisc.
ALSA lib conf.c:
ALSA lib conf.c:
ALSA lib pcm.c:2145:
aplay: main:550: audio open error: No such file or directory
I will add the various file outputs as attachments as recommended by:

This is with kernel 2.6.20-15-generic, by the way.
I will also point out that I either get that "audiotestsrc" error in a pop up, or I get no error at all but no sound at all. Other bug reports have indicated some sound (but quiet), or an X on the volume gadget in the panel. My volume gadget looks like it works (it slides), and the "Open Volume Control" menu opens a volume control panel which also looks like it works (sliders work as they should), but there is no sound at all, even with everything cranked to max.
