Ahh, I forgot about one detail: The config entry is unknown to xine until the 
OSS plugin is first loaded, because it is this plugin which initially 
registers the entry. There is currently no clean way to preset a config entry 
before it is know other than a config file. You could go with registering the 
entries yourself, like you already tried. The audio.device.oss_device_name, 
however, is of type enum, not string. I think this is why your efforts 
failed.

If you have any suggestion on how to improve this situation, please go ahead. 
I think it might be possible to register the config entries before the plugin 
is being loaded.

xine_engine_set_param(xine, XINE_ENGINE_PARAM_VERBOSITY, <level>);

with <level> being the desired verbosity level. (try 2)

I don't think so.
