You should get this: `mplayer -ao pulse my.mp3`

On a corectly configured DAW Machine with pulseaudio you should be able to run: `padsp mplayer my.mp3`
AO: [oss] 44100Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Video: no video Starting playback... A: 11.1 (11.1) of 254.0 (04:14.0) 0.4%

On EL6 you should be using ALSA for mplayer as alsa targets pulse.
aplay file.mp3 says: Playing raw data 'file.mp3' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
Still just makes a nasty hiss.
`aplay -f dat my.wav` is what you want. "little indianess" byte words.
Still no /dev/dsp. Maybe there isn't supposed to be one for my sound hardware?
I said previously there is NO ""/dev/dsp"" and there want be one for EL6. If perhaps you had one then you really have someing funny going on.
lspci says: Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)
Those cards can be nothing but problems. Some say that there are common in linux but I say nothing but common trouble.
When did you update the the kernel last? Something good is `alsa-info` and read the instructions on the terminal and where to run it and get the standard output of it. You could try a diffeernt "codec" besides "lame" like mpg123. Does asound.conf point to the pulses conf file?
It is a normal thing that pulseaudio will pop and skip and snap crackle when it does not have enough of a Buffer or Priority and when a card is going bad.
Since in the above mplayer can not access pulse last thing you could do is reinstall all the pulse packages.

I downgraded lame back to the previous package and rebooted the machine. That fixed the skipping and dropouts from totem/gstreamer.
Shortly after that I got a kernel upgrade notice on my auto update tool. I installed that but declined the upgrade to lame. After reboot that still worked. Last night I reinstalled the lame upgrade and did another cold start. Still no skipping and dropouts from totem/gstreamer.
mplayer still doesn't want to hear it. mplayer -ao pulse my.mp3 ====> No Joy mplayer -ao alsa my.mp3 ====> No Joy
padsp mplayer my.mp3 works. It says: AO: [oss] 44100Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample) Sound it good.
`aplay -f dat my.mp3` just makes a hissy noise, but it's a different hissy noise than `aplay my.mp3` does.

Oh hold the phone! aplay doesn't support mp3. It works fine with wav files. Duhhh! I guess I should RTFM.
