Check that you don't have any other sound apps running:

ps xa |grep artsd
ps xa |grep esd

'artsd' is the KDE sound daemon, while 'esd' is for GNOME. Kill those
and try again (killall artsd, or from the KDE/GNOME menus).

Also, try the following:

ecasound -i foo.wav -o alsa

... that might fix the problem in case ALSA's OSS-emulation is not
correctly setup on your machine.
