In General settings change the audio output device from /dev/dsp to 
ALSA:device.  Replace device with whatever you normally use for your 
other ALSA applications.  Some typical values are spdif, iec958, 
default, hw:0,0, plughw:0,0, and so on.  An example is ALSA:spdif or to 
use your example ALSA:hw:0,0.  Make sure that ALSA is all upper-case.
