I also ran:
@ubuntu:~$ mplayer -ao help
MPlayer dev-SVN-r19849-4.0.3 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team
AltiVec found
CPU: PowerPC
Available audio output drivers:
        oss     OSS/ioctl audio output
        nas     NAS audio output
        mpegpes DVB audio output
        null    Null audio output
        pcm     RAW PCM/WAVE file writer audio output

I see no alsa driver listed though I have the alsa wrapper for oss
installed.  ??
