Turns out the necessary modules are already loaded. Apparantly it is a
permission problem. The root user can play sound. Normal user is not
capable and is denied access to the sound device. I checked the
permissions on various sound devices and they are the same as those on a
machine where it does work!
Does anybody know why root can use sound and normal user not?
jeroen:/dev# ls -l dsp mixer dsp audio
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 4 Mar 14 22:51 audio
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 Mar 14 22:51 dsp

Because the user is not a member of the group audio
go into /etc/groups
after the last : in audio add your user name.
Log out and back in.
