This points to an issue with your alsa configuration/installation.

Same error as above, a problem with alsa.

Not quite sure what the error is, perhaps you need to run mpg321
verbosely.

So it seems you have all the plugins for ALSA enabled.

Just shooting randomly in the dark here:
  * Did you update alsa recently? Do you have old alsa pcm
    configurations files from before? Maybe those files are screwing
    things up.
  * Kernel module for your sound card?
