I have Debian Etch installed on 2.4 Ghtz P4 with 1GB of RAM. Everything is working great (even Compiz-Fusion). The only problem I have is with the system sounds enabled, I have no audio on videos in VLC or in Iceweasal flash (YouTube). When I disable system sounds the audio for the videos is fine. I know the system sounds are kinda lame but I'm a bit partial to them. Is there some way I can configure Debian so they both work simultaneously? Here is the output from "cat /dev/sndstat".

 cat /dev/sndstat
