This is an XMMS bug; the "hw" devices are for direct hardware access.
Does
"aplay something.wav" work?
Running in XMMS (the GUI part), I can select the ALSA driver as the output
plugin, then select "Speedio: USB Audio (hw:1,0)" for output. If I run aplay somefile.wav, with no other parameters,
it
plays fine through the regular soundcard. But if I try
aplay -Dhw:1,0 somefile.wav, I get an error: "Sample format
non [sic] available".
To automatically convert the sample format, use "plughw:1".
