xine audio error - surround mode

I use xine as mythtv dvd player, because it is far better than internal
player.

Now Xine reports "The audio device is unavailable. Please verify if another
program already uses it"

Strangely, xine plays dvd menus fine with audio, but when I select and start
movie, it throws this message.

 noticed that this happens only with my frontend which has analog 5.1
surround set. I have set "audio.output.speaker_arrangement:Surround 5.1" and
"audio.device.alsa_surround51_device:plug:surround51:0" in xineconfig.

If I set "audio.output.speaker_arrangement:Stereo 2.1" or something else
"non surround" mode, it works fine.

For some reason, xine seems not to be able to find alsa 5.1 plugin, or 4.1
or any surround plug. Mplayer works fine Smile

Also, if I set xine audio channel to none in menu, and then select movie,
and after movie start set audio channel again, it works! And surround too.
So, there is alsa plugin, but xine has some kind of problem with it.

Any ideas?
