Hi,

This on sid:
xine-ui                0.99.4+dfsg+cvs2006111

I would like to have it use the 2nd sound card. How do you do that?

This was a test question ;-) few passed it:

It's all automatic: Xine knows when you're using Alsa and then you set the $ALSA_CARD environment variable to either 0 or 1 ... and you'll get Alsa using whatever card.

Since I have a multi-seat setup, each "seat" has its own soundcard and profile sets the ALSA_CARD number based on the DISPLAY variable. So all I had to do was get on the 2nd display and I got xine playing to the 2nd soundcard.

Try to do better next time :-)
