It does for me, but it really uses the CPU. It uses so much CPU that any extra activity causes the sound to stutter. So I wouldn't bother using it for much.

There may be a setting you need to fix. Try firing up the xmms2 backend and explicitly setting the output to pulseaudio:

Code:
debbie 
xmms2d -o pulse
Leave that running. Open a second terminal.

Code:
debbie lxmusic
Does it play music now?

I found that you only have to set the output plugin for the xmms2d backend once, after that it sets your chosen plugin as the default.

Also youtube videos don't play sound in iceweasel during the short intervals the videos are played at all. I'm just wondering whether I broke something by installing a lot of additional (and actually useful) stuff.
The Flash plugin for Easy Debian is the one from Maemo 4 (the N8x0 tablets). So it uses the old sound architecture, and I don't know how to get the sound to work for it on the N900.

I haven't been able to get the new N900 flash plugin to work inside Easy Debian at all, so video without sound is better than nothing.

We need a real hacker to get Flash working fully, I think.
