hi,
thanx very much for this response,
unfortunately it does not helps in my case!
i never used a .asoundrc, so copied and pasted that one from the link 
above, now after the boot, i dont have to run alsaconf anymore, rme 
shows up as hw:0,0, which is actually good.
but xmms still has that problem, after setting up the .asoundrc, xmms 
begins to play for 2 seconds a very dirty distorted sound but than it 
crashes again.
i am trying to use "hdsp_analog" as the output in xmms, but i have the 
feeling that xmms does not remember this entry, everytime i open up the 
"configure" dialog in the xmms, it is setted to default again?

any other hints?

cheers,
doc
