How to configure MPlayer Plugin to use a second sound device?

Using SuSE 10.0 (Linux 2.6.13-15.15-smp) I connected a Xitel HiFi-Link.
This is an USB soundevice which can be connected to your home stereo.
Using YaST SuSE generated /dev/dsp1 and /dev/mixer1 (alongside the normal
/dev/dsp and /dev/mixer).

I succeeded in configuring several soundplayers to use this device and it 
works.
E.g. I configured the MPlayer program:
right mouse button > Preferences
tab Audio
in the table of Available drivers select oss en click Configure driver
fill the items Device: /dev/dsp1 and Mixer /dev/mixer1
click OK
click OK
restart Mplayer

I can find the results of the above in $HOME/.mplayer/gui.conf:
ao_oss_mixer = "/dev/mixer1"
ao_oss_device = "/dev/dsp1"

And now for  MPlayer Plugin (3.31-0.pm.2) in Firefox (1.0.6-16).
This still uses the standard sound device so it seems to have a different
configuration file(s).
http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/config.php mentions
$HOME/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf and which parameters can be entered there.
The two paremeters mentioned above are not in the list. I tried them out
anyhow, but now no sound at all, so I removed that.

Is there any possibility to configure The MPlayer Plugin to use other devices
and how is it done.

Thanks for looking into this problem.
