The select list only contains "default" and "hw" devices which can't work because the ICE1712 only support S32_LE samples which are rarely used in .wav files. "default:x" or "plughw:x" should work where x is the number of the ICE1712 card. I guess you'll have to edit the XMMS config file. Please report this incorrect enumeration of ALSA devices as a bug to the XMMS maintainers. Lee
