[SLE] Audio port redirect?

Hi All,

I hope this isn't trivial, but I suddenly need this, and have almost no
time to play, manual hunt, etc. and am hoping there's a quick answer
somebody knows.

My system has a built-in audio card, that works fine, and I use an
external USB sound system too. The external device works a treat with
Audacity, showing up as /dev/dsp1.

However, I now want to use this output device to play the sound from a
dvd.

Can I:

a) persuade Xine to use this device directly? If so, how?
b) persuade mplayer to use this device? Also how?
c) relink, redirect, or otherwise mess with, the system config so that
either of these programs will be writing to the USB device without any
reconfiguration?

I don't really want this to be permanent, and this is a laptop, so
physical but temporary removal of the sound card isn't an option.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance, I'm off to read more manuals now!

Cheers,
Simon
