Have you considered that maybe your sound card is not supported? There aren't THAT many cards that are. I have a Via sound chipset on my motherboard (new support in 4.2RC1 but I still just get white noise with pcm). So I went to Best Buy and bought a $19 ISA sound card that said it supported SB,SB pro and windows sound system standards. I recompiled my kernel with pcm and had sound right away for xmms. So if you're really frustrated, buy a new card or check the HARDWARE.TXT files to see if your card is supported. Or try to use a bridge driver (I've no idea how). At least make sure you've upgraded to 4.1.1 at least. Maybe wait a few days for 4.2-release.
