I tried that, but there's definitely a problem with ALSA and SBLive 5.1.

I'm loathe to force people to use plughw device. With asound.conf, you
can define a lot of other device with interesting properties (mixing,
resample...)

Why not use mplayer (new) syntax: -ao alsa:device=plughw#0.3

This way will give you the _possibility_ to extend softdevice to send
sound to jack, arts and so on...

OK. Well, I'll test the new softdevice release, but I don't think it
will improve this problem.
