Probably. Are you loading snd_pcm_oss, snd_mixer_oss, and possibly snd_seq_oss? I can't believe that Debian doesn't load Alsa modules automatically! Even Slackware does that. BTW, to get Mplayer to use Alsa by default, add this to your .mplayer/config. ao=alsa First, make sure that Mplayer supports Alsa by running the command "mplayer -ao help" which will show what audio devices are compiled in.
