There's another problem: When I start gnome-volume-control, I get:

rhythmbox use alsa or oss?
I suppose alsa - I set USE=-oss in make.conf. How do I check?
gst-plugins-alsa is NOT installed.
That's it!
On my new system, I'm using Xfce; on other systems I used to use
Gnome. I suppose Gnome pulls in gst-plugins-meta which may pull in
gst-plugins-alsa. Xfce doesn't do that (of course).
After installing gst-plugins-meta (and gst-plugins-alsa), I'm able
to hear something.
Nice!
Andrey, thanks for your suggestions - they made me solve the problem.
Something's wrong there:

Looking into ebuilds, it would appear that gst-plugins-meta used to have
alsa and oss USE flags. The most current version doesn't, so you either
have to emerge gst-plugins-alsa manually or emerge gst-plugins-meta to
get alsa support. Which seems really odd as the vast majority of users
will have alsa or oss.
Perhaps you could file a feature request at b.g.o. to get the old
behaviour back. It seems entirely reasonable to me that rhythmbox
should DEPENDs on gst-plugins-base which should conditionally DEPEND
on -alsa or -oss (or other sound systems). Unless rhythmbox can serve
up over the network that is, in which case local hardware support might
not be needed.
