Linux sound is too complicated for me

["laymusic" <user=1494@nabble.blu.org>]

I solved a problem yesterday -- I figured out how to use aconnect to 
get my USB MIDI keyboard to play notes that sound through timidity. 

This morning, I can't get any sound from YouTube videos.   

I don't remember exactly when the last time I played a YouTube video 
was, so it's conceivable that it's something else that caused the 
problem, but that's the only thing I can remember changing at all 
recently. 

Normal sound playing from the command line of sound files on my 
computer still works fine. 

Does anyone understand what YouTube is asking for that my computer 
doesn't know how to give it any more?  Or how to debug alsa sound 
problems?  I did used to subscribe to a linux audio mailing list, and 
they did eventually end up debugging stuff like this, but it wasn't at 
all a well-defined science.
