[Alsa-user] how to tell some app to use a different device?

[Bruno S. <bos...@gm...>]

Is it possible to make alsa force some application to use a different
(non default) alsa device?

I used to play low volume music background with XMMS, so that sound
signals from other apps were relatively loud [1]. XMMS would let me
choose the audio device, so it was simple. Now I use totem, and there
is no way to choose the audio device from it. Suggestions?
