Ahh.  I have vague memories now of going through that when I was
trying to get omxplayer to output to the jack.  It *didn't* work
there, because it turns out that with omxplayer you have to use
the "--adev local" option to redirect the output.  I guess it
doesn't use alsa.

As sometimes I do want audio out via hdmi -- playing a video for instance --
it's probably more convenient to stick with omxplayer, as there's really
nothing wrong with the job it does.

Thanks.
