Ok, disabling the internal mixed fixed it.  I swear I tried this
yesterday after reading about the XBox not having a hardware
mixer.....
Anyway, I've got sound with: MixerControl=PCM (this is probably
ignored since internal mixing is off), AudioDevice and
AudioOutputDevice=ALSA:cards.pcm.dmix

Thanks for the help & suggestions!
Dave
