[SOLVED] [AUDIO] Not working on vmware

(My first post )
I'm using an up to date ArchLinux on a VMWare Fusion (OSX Snow Leopard).
when playing an audio file with mplayer, I don't get any output sound.
Here are a few useful command outputs:

mplayer audiofile.mp3

MPlayer SVN-r29776-4.4.1 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team
141 audio & 306 video codecs
mplayer: could not connect to socket
mplayer: No such file or directory
Failed to open LIRC support. You will not be able to use your remote control.

Playing audiofile.mp3.
Audio only file format detected.
Clip info:
 Title: Sugar sugar
