My problem turned out to be related to alsa mixer settings. For some (unknown) reason, the PCM playback in alsamixer was muted. Fixed by doing

$ alsamixer -c 0 (without -c 0 I would get a pulseaudio device)

then selecting PCM, unmuting and adjusting volume. Very simple, but not that easy to find, as long as this volume control is somewhat hidden when using pulseaudio.

Still, the volume control application in GNOME does not launch when I right click the speaker icon in the task bar, I don't know why (yet).

I now have working sound playback.
