Yes. I sent the output in a previous post. I don't use aplay very
often, but I believe that the output it gave was the output it's
supposed to give on a working sound system, except that there was no
sound coming out of the speakers. I checked and the speakers are turned
on and plugged into the PC and I turned the volume all the way up before
running aplay and still didn't hear the wav file.
I'm really hesitant to mention this one, but others have done it and
so have I oncce or twice. Are you sure you have the speakers plugged
into the right output from the motherboard? Normally it's the green
one in the middle.
Also, there was a time when the Intel 810 was senting output out on
some other plug on a couple of machines. Try the headphone output plug
as well as the speaker output plug.

I have my speakers plugged into the headphone jack on the front of the
case. That's the only way I could get sound out of them in Windows XP.
The headphone jack on the front of the case? First of all, make sure
that this is not the headphone jack on the front of the CD-ROM drive.
If this is actually just an alternate front panel jack you should still
try using the standard jack on the rear of the machine. What if there
was something wrong with the front panel lead or jacks? If you couldn't
get sound out of your machine under Windows through the regular
speaker-out or line-out jacks, and you could only get sound out of this
front panel connector, then either you have a serious hardware problem
with the card or you installed the front panel lead improperly. On my
newer machines, the front panel lead connects to the appropriate pins on
the motherboard not once, but twice. The second connection serves as a
jumper to enable the front panel connectors to work as well as the rear
panel connectors. Check your motherboard manual to be sure that you
have things wired up correctly. It sounds like you don't. If
everything IS wired up correctly and both problems still persist (the
Windows one and the ALSA one), then I'd urge you to run out and buy a
new card.
