This allows me to play DVDs with dolby digital passthrough. However, now I can't play any other sounds - any music or AVI that I play is completely silent. Playing an AVI or mp3 in xine now results in total silence, while playing a DVD will have sound. Also, xmms, mplayer, and the gnome-sound-card tool are also completely silent now. There's nothing suspicious in alsamixer - the channels are turned on. Now what?
