Maybe with the xmms-alsa-plugin?

^^^^^^
That's the error: mplayer is one of the many stupid programs that
always try to use hw:0, hw:1, ... Please report this as a bug to
the mplayer team: mplayer should allow the selection of devices by
name, like for example "mplayer -ao alsa9 -alsadevice
plug:surround51" (this is made up and doesn't work, of course).
Why do software authors write their ALSA code this way? aplay.c is
good copy'n'paste source code.
ciao
