is either chan_alsa.so or chan_oss.so loaded? What kernel version is it
and from where?

The package sox has a handy 'play' utility. It plays to OSS, but also
provides an OSS emulation. It can also play gsm files from the sounds/
dir (at least the version on Debian). This should be a standard package
on most ditributions.

If all seems well but there's no sound, make sure the sound is not
muted. I normally use aumix.
