Well, I have the same issue as you. I myself use XMMS on a regular 
basis. If you check the properties of the CD plugin for XMMS you can set 
it so that it uses digital output. You'll want around a 1Ghz processor 
though. This entire solution however isn't very well suited to computers 
that BasicLinux attempts to aim for. I'd recommend you try Sindi's 
approach if at all possible.

Thanks,
