Same is mine.

You checked gui version. It is better to check:
'# xine-config --version' which gives 1.0.0. I think it is same as 
yours.

Ok. I'll try to switch back to 1.0.7

I need analog cable as:
 "The digital output measures 1 dB down at 13.5 KHz, and -3dB at 17 
khz, and -15 dB at 20kHz. This is atypically bad performance for 
sound card digital I/O..." and the 48 kHz SPDIF frequency can't be 
changed to anything else. :( So, the main use of digital out for me 
is DD/DTS encoded sound on DVD's.
