Hi all.. This is very weird for me. I'm trying to play any sound (media player, skype, etc) but I get no sound. But the weirdest thing is that.. I can hear the FM radio applet very well.. I'm desperate, I have been looking in google, IRC, and in forums for a week, but I do not find anything.

No more information needed. You just disconnected the earphones while the FM radio was in "loudspeaker" mode.
Just connect the earphones, start the main program (not the desktop applet), change the mode to earphones. Disconnect the earphones.

I did exactly what you said:
* plug the earphones
* start the main program (by clicking the configure button)
* click on a radio station to hear it (I do hear it on my earphones)
* click on the radio image that is in the left bottom corner to check if I can hear the music in the speaker (and I do)
* click again in the earphones image to hear it in my earphones (and it works)
* close the main fm radio window
* press stop in the applet window
* open the media player
* click on any song.... but I do not hear anything

did I miss something
What about rebooting? If problem is the same as mine, rebooting would fix. Just to be sure where the problem is, then we will look at the procedure correctness..
I could be wrong, but I think the fm radio is hardwired to the speakers, ie. it doesn't route through the audioprocessor and thus can be heard, and not anything else. Which, unfortunately, could indicate some hardware failure.
If you can't hear the media player through either the speakers or the earbuds, with volume turned up (two volues: The master volume in the status applet, and the media player volume), then indeed it sounds like a hardware problem.
