DOOM isn't a brilliant test of your sound system, IMHO.  It's too difficult to 
figure out what it's doing.

1.	cat /dev/sndstat
		-- does it look right?   Are the numbers right?

2.	Install sox or some other audio app and try sending an .au file
		to the sound card:-
		cat some-audio-file >/dev/audio
