GNOME needs the enlightened sound daemon (esd). You can also get the alsa-compliant esd. Look for the packages esound, esound-clients, esound-common, (libesd0 or libesd-alsa0). Also, don't forget to turn on sound under GNOME - go to the Control Center, under Multimedia | Sound, check "Enable sound server startup" and "Sounds for events" - and make sure that your sound card and the PCM channel aren't muted (in alsamixer, make sure there's no "MM" at the top of the channels).
