Thanks for the tip... before this I didn't know about .asoundrc files --
I just read through the on-line documentation on them, looks cool!
This sort of flexibility is the good thing about ALSA. The bad thing is
it still doesn't work, but OSS does :-/
I created a .asoundrc following your model, and configured the xmms alsa
plugin to use the virtual "cdaudio" device as suggested.
It does the same things as configuring the xmms alsa plugin to use
plughw:1,0 -- just repetitive noise, like a stuck CD.
(My card 0 is the motherboard onboard chip, which I'm not using, and
card 1 is the M-Audio)
