I hate to bring this up again but sound still doesn't work for me. Sorry, I didn't get to try the last solution when it came out. so its possible that sound just got broken again in the meantime. All symptoms are pretty much exactly as Bsa B33 described (except I ran everything as root).
This is from a lastest sat-rpi gen build (I'll post more about the linked iso in a different thread). I used aplay to play badswap.wav, one of the default files that came with the Raspberry Pi (in python_games). It plays find in Raspbian but hangs in Slitaz. I tried alsa-lib and alsa-utils version 25 as well with the same result (actually slightly worse because in 27.2, I can press Ctrl+c twice to exit whereas I have to resort to kill -9 in version 25). I've built both with debugging symbols and here's the traceback from when it hangs.

That ^C is me pressing Ctrl+c as otherwise, it will be stuck there forever.
On a side note, in the web admin interface, if mpg123 isn't installed "Play sound" just fails silently.
