Hello,there:
I don't know what's wrong with this,but the fact is I couldn't play any audio or vedio!!!when I type "mocp"in terminal,it showed:
    Can't load plugin libmusepack_decoder: file not found
Running the server...
Trying JACK...
Trying ALSA...
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1010:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Trying OSS...

FATAL_ERROR: No valid sound driver

FATAL_ERROR: Server exited

and I also tried gnome-mplayer,it couldn't play either.....I'm here asking for your help,please.:(
P.S.:I also ran alsaconf as root,but nothing improved.:(

Try installing libmusepack

pacman -S libmusepack

Check if you followed all steps in http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Alsa
As "FATAL_ERROR: No valid sound driver" states you seem to be missing the driver for your card.
Also check if the decoder is installed (I assume it would be libmusepack but don't use that myself...so not sure) because of "libmusepack_decoder: file not found"
Good luck
