I think what Takashi is saying is that when xine attempts to do 
passthru, it should change the switch automatically. It will in fact 
override whatever you entered in alsamixer. So maybe before it was 
overriding it to "analogue" instead of overriding it to "digital".

I think that is what Takashi was trying to say.
