Thanks for the responses.

I tried to install with ALSA. It did not seem to straight forward. I 
kept it aside for the movement.

Then I tried ESD and arts(KDE). I use KDE on my system, but I choose to 
use ESD, as the players that I use have plugins for ESD ready available  
(and working) from Debian repository.

Everything is fine but for realplayer, which does not seem to work with 
ESD. For now, I guess, I can live with that as I seldom use realplayer.

Thanks again,
Naren.
