Have you tried blacklisting the pcspeaker module. I think I had a
problem like this a while ago. For some reason alsa would find two
sound cards - the pcspeaker being one of them. It used the default
(which just happened to be the pcspeaker).

I don't have flashplugin-nonfree installed, and the correct device
(USB-Audio) is the ALSA default.

$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Device ]: USB-Audio - USB Audio Device
Elite Silicon USB Audio Device at
usb-0000:00:13.0-1, full speed
1 [IXP ]: ATIIXP - ATI IXP
ATI IXP rev 80 with ALC658D at 0xfe02a000, irq 17

This is as it should be:

$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Device ]: USB-Audio - USB Audio Device
Elite Silicon USB Audio Device at
usb-0000:00:13.0-1, full speed
1 [IXP ]: ATIIXP - ATI IXP
ATI IXP rev 80 with ALC658D at 0xfe02a000, irq 17

Otherwise, audio wouldn't work at all.
