I have no idea how to do it within the config file. You can google forthat. But first check that it works when you use mplayer:mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0.2 blah.mp3You might need to resample to 48K, not sure about it:mplayer -srate 48000 -ao alsa:device=hw=0.2 blah.mp3If this still doesn't work, try plughw (wiht or without resampling):mplayer -srate 48000 -ao alsa:device=plughw=0.2 blah.mp3 2008/9/12 Eric T.
