afaik those are all default values, except audio.alsa_hw_mixer:0.
I don't think, that's a problem.
Does xine play every sound through the wrong device or only DVDs (5.1)?
Maybe there's a stale asoundrc in your home, somehow 
redirecting "plug:surround51:0" to the second device?

I'm out of ideas now, it seems :(

Michael
