I think pulseaudio replaced Alsa for Ubuntu.. I'm runnung Debian Lenny and 
still running alsa, so I have no clue how to configue pulseaudio.. my laptop 
may have it, but I never listen to music on my laptop.. it's FOR WORK :)

see:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio
It's a drop in replacement for EsounD. PulseAudio is the standard sound server 
in Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04.
