Comment (by rushfan73):

 Well, mpd and command-line mplayer now sound fine, but smplayer does not
 work at all. MPlayer is still showing some troubling output:

 ==========================================================================
 Opening audio decoder: [mp3lib] MPEG layer-2, layer-3
 AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 128.0 kbit/9.07% (ratio: 16000->176400)
 Selected audio codec: [mp3] afm: mp3lib (mp3lib MPEG layer-2, layer-3)
 ==========================================================================
 AO: [pulse] Init failed: Connection refused
 Failed to initialize audio driver 'pulse'
 [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pulse.c:272:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to
 connect: Connection refused

 [AO_ALSA] Playback open error: Connection refused
 Failed to initialize audio driver 'alsa'
 AO: [oss] 44100Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample)
 Video: no video


 Is there an easy way to just circumvent pulseaudio for all of my
 applications, giving that my audigy has hardware mixing?
