To fix this problem I did 2 things: 1. asoundconf set-pulseaudio 2. aptitude install libasound2-plugins
The first creates a .asoundrc.asoundconf in your home directory that tells ALSA to use Pulse Audio. The second step may only be necessary for people on 64-bit systems. I am not sure. I had to do it to get rid of the "Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa- lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so" error. Now everything is peachy. Hallelujah!
