what audio drivers are you using ? I have found for some
reason on my systems at least xine does not work with alsa,
i can never get it to work with alsa(even with the alsa oss
drivers), but once i switch to OSS drivers xine immediately
works ...i only use alsa on my laptops, my desktops all have
es1371 and use OSS, so i don't use alsa there.
null is just a way for xine to not use audio, it's not trying
to use /dev/null, one thing you can try is use the command line
switches. run xine -help to see what they are, you can try to force
xine to use a particular driver, it will usually crash if for
some reason it cannot(happens to me when i try to force it to use
alsa when my drivers are alsa, but if i switch drivers to oss and
tell it to use OSS, bang, it works)
