I tried Andrew's advice and instead of getting static I got no sound at all. This is with all channels unmuted and volume set to 100%. I have a Mac Mini so I tried all the relative models.

The only conclusion I can draw is that it was using the correct model before and it's simply the case that the driver is somewhat screwed. I mean OSS seems to work fine with the autodetected model and I think that's essentially just a compatibility layer for the ALSA driver. When manually specifying the model not even OSS works.

Can anybody who hasn't already please try using OSS output and report back as to whether that works? I guess the easiest way is with mplayer ("mplayer -ao oss <soundfile>").
