No sound except via mplayer

I've got an MSI 7142 (aka K8MM-V mobo) with SPDIF out and FC3

mplayer-1.0pre7 I get sound out via the speakers.

On the other hand, aplay, soundcard detection, grip, etc. don't generate
sound.

My .asoundrc looks like:

pcm.!default {
 type hw
 card 0
 device 1
 subdevice 0
}


since this is a VT8237 based system (with digital playback as hw:0,1).

I tried playing CD's with mplayer, but I get:

[root@media ~]# mplayer cdda://

(DVD's, on the other hand, play fine...)

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks,
