This seems to be an archlinux issue. root can see the sound system the user
can't. Adding user to audio group makes no difference. I've posted to the Arch list.

Example:

(root)

[19:55 valhalla:/home/david] # aplay -l

card 0: I82801AAICH [Intel 82801AA-ICH], device 0: Intel ICH [Intel 82801AA-ICH]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
[19:55 valhalla:/home/david] # aplay -L
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
