To test audio w/o pulseaudio, you can take some wave file and run

pasuspender aplay foo.wav

or just kill it: pulseaudio -k

The ATI device in your lspci output could be the HDMI audio out.
Try to run "update-pciids" as root, maybe lspci shows a correct
description then (instead of unknown device)
