Thanks Paul - that change made it work for me too.

But that triggered a follow-up question:
What is the correct value for: Passthrough output device
I have two options listed:         
  default
  ALSA:iec958:{AES0 0x02}

My audio devices are:
   Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH$/ICH$-L/ICH4-M)  AC'97 Audio
   Controller (this is my soundcard integrated on my motherboard)

   PNPb006 (MPU-401 compatible MIDI device)

   Conexant CX8801 (this is on my pchdtv5500 TV card)

   Brooktree Bt878 (this is on my Winfast 2000XP deluxe TV card)
