Hi,
   Tried it all. No luck. xine still sends audio to the USB sound card
and not to the on-board, default sound chip.

   I also tested CD audio. Same thing. xine sends everything it's
doing to the USB port and not the the default sound card, but only on
this system.

   I'm out of ideas. I'll file a bug in Bugzilla I guess.

   Thanks very much for your support. I appreciated it even if we
didn't manage to solve the problem.

Thanks,
Mark
