Yes it can:
Select alsa output plugin -> configure -> type "plughw:1,0" manually
and select software volume control.

Or select OSS output plugin -> configure -> USB
but then no volume control is possible.

Or select esound output plugin
and launch esd with:
esd -d plughw:1,0

This last solution allows you to mix sources easily
e.g. when I was playing a mp3 with xmms I launched

mplayer -ao esd some_other.mp3 <http://www.paul.sladen.org/pronunciation/torvalds-says-linux.mp3>

So esound could be the kind of stuff you're looking for :-)
