Well I spoke too soon.  Mplayer is not working:

[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm.c:2106:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared
library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_empty.so
[AO_ALSA] Playback open error: No such file or directory

Anyone got any idea where this file went?

Every single time I upgrade ALSA, it breaks.  Every damn time.
