We use alsa as default for sound on gentoo and using oss/light (the
modules included in the kernel)
is not tested very well at the moment.
A few things u night check:

Does the kdemixer work?
Install the media-libs/sox packket and try to play a soundfile with the
"play" utility. If that does not work
install dev-utils/strace and run 
strace play [a sound file] > logfile
please post this logfile to the list, that should help us find the
problem.
