All ALSA plugins fail to load. Flash still plays sound however.

Question

Alsa is basically functioning as alsamixer will load and does affect my volume. However any program that requires alsa plugins besides flash-player fail to load.
What follows is the output from running alsaplayer.
$ alsaplayer
snd_pcm_open: No such file or directory (default)
Failed to initialize plugin!
Failed to register plugin: /usr/lib/alsaplayer/output/libalsa_out.so
Failed to load output plugin "alsa". Trying defaults.
snd_pcm_open: No such file or directory (default)
Failed to initialize plugin!
/usr/lib/alsaplayer/output/libalsa_out.so failed to load
jack: server not running?
/usr/lib/alsaplayer/output/libjack_out.so failed to load

Failed to initialize plugin!
/usr/lib/alsaplayer/output/liboss_out.so failed to load
Failed to initialize plugin!
/usr/lib/alsaplayer/output/libesound_out.so failed to load
NOTE: THIS IS THE NULL PLUGIN. YOU WILL NOT HEAR SOUND!!
Here is the output of the respective commands, posted as suggested on the wiki.

Thank you. Problem solved. disabling "FoxiFrame aerosnap" and resetting the toolbars and controls did the magic. Well, gotta clean up my interface now...
