Of course that was the issue.  However, after uncommenting the additional lines, I get the following errors from xine when playing ripped dvd iso's:

audio_decoder:  error, unknown buffer type:  01060000
audio_decoder:  error, unknown buffer type:  04000000
audio_decoder:  error, unknown buffer type:  02000000

I just ignore the errors and hit the play button and all is well (I assume because xine is passing the raw AC3 to my external receiver).

Thanks for your help with my ignorance...

Re-read (or just plain read? ;) the comment...   I.e. "Uncomment the
appropriate *four* lines below (only one slave.pcm line)," (emphasis added).

pcm.!default {
  type plug
## Uncomment the following to use mixed analog by default
#  slave.pcm "dmix-analog"
## Uncomment the following to use unmixed digital by default
#  slave.pcm "digital-hw"
# Uncomment the following to use mixed digital by default
  slave.pcm "dmix-digital"
}

No configuration required for xine/MPlayer (or any other app).  That's
the whole purpose of defining the default...
