Hah, that one's easy: use neither :P
$ grep -i alsa ~/.xine/config ~/.mplayer/config ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc /home/dh/.xine/config:audio.driver:alsa /home/dh/.mplayer/config:ao=alsa /home/dh/.config/vlc/vlcrc:aout=alsa
With that, I can play the very same file in all three players at the same time; depending on offset, it's a cacophony, but it's very clear that each player's sound is output and mixed correctly by alsa.
The only thing that I occasionally miss (to some extent) and what I'm told pulseaudio can do is a "per app volume setting". Apart from that: I don't need no gstreamer,phonon,pulseaudio or whatever. Plain ALSA suffices.
Oh, and BTW: I use the "GKrellM Volume Plugin 2.1.x" as a "mixer". Just what I need in a configurable part of screen estate, in my case it's about 100x50px... That's great. Questions, if ya don't mind, I have zero experience with this . . .
The error I get from vlc is that device hw:0,0 is not available. In the config file I've got:
alsa-audio-device=hw:0,0 . . #aout= There's probably something (phonon, pulseuadio) claiming that device.
