Hi -
I have two soundcards in my MP box, one that I is connected to the TV to provide sound for videos and TV, the other is connected to an amp to play music through my hi-fi speakers. The following patch adds support for selecting the soundcard for music playback in MP's configuration app and the relevant changes in MP itself:

Must say that I'm extremely impressed by the coding of MP, adding support for this took around 10 minutes.
Issues/limitations:
Neither mute nor volume are working yet.
Only applicable when DirectShow is used as the audio renderer. The combo box used to choose the playback device is disabled when 'Windows Media Player 9' is selected (since you can select the playback device within WMP, are there knock on issues with a movies' audio etc?).
There may be an alternative way to do this already in MP but I haven't come across it yet, and given the lack of free time, I went ahead and made the changes... so no shouting at me if I've wasted my time.
Hope to implement SMS style browsing through artists, albums etc this afternoon but time is EXTREMELY limited. Once that is done I can chuck my audiotron out of the window!!!
Cheers,
Lee.
