Ok, so basically the problem is that in the default totem-xine and xine configurations, playback fails because alsa is used instead of esound, correct? I think you had to enable esound explicitely yourself, but still I think xine should try to use esound first; if you agree with the analysis, I'll file this as an enhancement request against xine. -- Loïc Minier
