Going through things as they are, I've managed to (kind of) track the problem down to play (/usr/bin/play). It simply refuses to play anything at all. Attatched, you'll find an output of processes (those that it STILL thinks it's trying to play).
Keep in mind, sound is an IMPORTANT factor in any computing experience. To limit the services like Drake has done is more than enough to drive someone BACK to Micro$oft, or to some other OS, where at least the basic functions work without problems. I'd appreciate it if whatever was done with sound was reversed, or at best someone trying to tell me HOW to get this working..
