Audacious is a lightweight audio player, resembling XMMS. Different 
back-ends (including ALSA) can easily be set from the configuration menu 
accessible via its top left corner.

ogg123 uses libao to get the sound to ALSA. It can be configured in 
~/.libao and /etc/libao.conf. ALSA can be configured in ~/.asoundrc and 
/etc/asound.conf. Of those 4 I only have /etc/libao.conf, wich contains 
one line:

default_driver=alsa

If your configuration is different then that may cause the problem.
