 Someone needs to slog through this problem and come up with a good
 solution.

+Soon after I posted this, I read Xine's autodetection code, read about
+the GStreamer API, and tried writing a plugin. The approach was to
+configure the system-wide default the for audiosink key to something
+like "listselector filename=/etc/audiosinks", and that file had an
+ordered list of possible audiosinks, like:
+
+esdsink
+artsdsink
+alsasink
+osssink sync=false
+
+I got it to work in a bunch of tests on my system, but it wasn't clear
+if it was a hack or a nice solution, and no one ever commented on
+whether it actually worked for them.

+I haven't really looked at GStreamer since.
