 Ok, so basically the problem is that in the default totem-xine and xine
 configurations, playback fails because alsa is used instead of esound,
 correct?

 I think you had to enable esound explicitely yourself, but still I
 think xine should try to use esound first; if you agree with the
 analysis, I'll file this as an enhancement request against xine.
