[pulseaudio-discuss] Pulseaudio runs, but there's no sound

hi,

finally after compile-updating 3/4 of my system, i was able to compile and make pulseaudio
up and running. It runs. applications such as mplayer/sype etc run, but there's no sound :(
checked out mixer, unmuted everything, no success. i'm using kernel 2.6.25.9 with no support 
for udev and high resolution timers.

here's the output of pulseaudio -v

and my .asoundrc:
-----------------
pcm.pulse {
    type pulse
}

ctl.pulse {
    type pulse
}

pcm.!default {
    type pulse
}

ctl.!default {
    type pulse
}
# former conf 
#pcm.intel8x0 {
#        type hw
#        card 0
#}
#
#ctl.intel8x0 {
#        type hw
#        card 0
#}


any suggestions? 
thanks
