I don't remember xine's options all that clearly, and I can't check
right now (I'm ssh'ed in in console only mode), but /dev/dsp1 looks
suspicious to me. Do you have two sound cards, or two audio outs? I
would try to force xine to send it's audio out to /dev/dsp, where it
will normally be dealt with by the oss wrapper in KDE's arts server.
As for the KDE thing, I think you can disable sound in the control
panel somewhere.
HTH, and sorry I'm not clearer - hopefully it gives you a starting
point, though.
