when I do:

L3 ~ # ls /dev/snd/
controlC0  pcmC0D0c  pcmC0D0p  seq  timer


does yours look like that too? It looks like xine is using a different interface to the sound than it should. For example, I emerged gxine so I could show you:


L3 ~ # lsof | grep xine | grep snd
gxine      6950       root  mem       CHR     116,16                 2975 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
gxine      6950       root    9u      CHR      116,0                 2966 /dev/snd/controlC0
gxine      6950       root   15r      CHR     116,33                 3091 /dev/snd/timer
... truncated ...

I'm not exactly sure, but I'd look into that.
