I'm having a little trouble with it. I recently reinstalled Arch, and although the soundcard (Emu 0202) is recognized I have a very annoying issue. I have sound playback but it sounds very "dirty", like if the frequency was wrong, and I don't have the clock rate selector anymore so I can't change it. I've been searching for a solution to this, and I've tried a few things but none have worked so far.
In case this helps, here what amixer returns
[mac@goomba ~]$ amixer
Simple mixer control 'PCM',0

And here's what my /proc/asound/card0/stream0 looks like
[mac@goomba ~]$ cat /proc/asound/card0/stream0

And here's what I have installed

==> List all installed packages
extra/alsa-firmware 1.0.23-1
extra/alsa-lib 1.0.23-1
extra/alsa-oss 1.0.17-1
local/alsa-tools 1.0.22-1
extra/alsa-utils 1.0.23-2
The weird thing is that last night I could listen to some mp3's but watching a a movie in .mkv would sound like this, and now the problem has spread system-wide. Any help would this would be greatly appreciated since I'm not sure what to try next.

Ok, a little update. I tried to see if installing alsa-plugins helped, and when I rebooted I noticed that I can play mp3's fine using mplayer, but if I use Rhythmbox or try to playback a mkv movie, everything starts going wrong again. This is very weird, and I'm really not sure what to look for, much less what to do.
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone? I'm really lost here

Now I know it's not soundcard related, since it happens with the two I have.
Right now I have flawless sound with totem and rhythmbox, but nothing else works right, flash, mplayer and VLC give me a very distorted sound.
I guess I'll have to keep digging, any help would be greatly appreciated.

The same issue here. Maybe mplayer is fine cause it uses oss/alsa emulation? MPD plays fine, when I choose oss output.
