What audio parameters (if any) are you currently giving xine at startup?
I think you should be able to specify something like '-A ALSA:hw:1,1'
(using the correct card number and device number to get audio from the
particular card/device combo you want) This also requires that your
.asoundrc and modules.conf (or equiv) files are setup correctly. You
can check /proc/asound or 'aplay -l' and 'aplay -L' to get a listing
of all cards and devices currently recognised.

Thanks Nick,
From aplay -l I have
card 0: I82801BAICH2 [Intel 82801-ICH2], device 0: Intel ICH
and
card 1: Audigy [Sound Blaster Audigy], device 0: emu10k1 [EMU10K1]
so I have tried
xine -A ALSA:hw:1,0
also for good measure:
xine -A alsa:hw:1,0
Xine seems to just ignore it and continue to output to card 0.
I can't find any detailed instructions on the -A command line options. Any
further ideas?
thanks,
Dave
