looks like it's now using alsa with the the oss backwards compatibility. Try
un-muting the sound devices using alsamix. That's usually the problem with
newly-installed alsa systems. 

You might have to apt-get alsa or alsa-utils but I can't believe debian let
you install an alsa enabled kernel without the relevant utils to go with it.
