No sound via HDMI on non-KDE apps (using KDE 4.5)

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone would know how I would go about having sound from applications like Firefox use the sound device that I select via the System Settings > Multimedia > Phonon device preference? KDE applications work no problem. I am using the Xine backend. If at all possible I like to do this without installing another backend like Pulseaudio.

Any suggestions?

The KDE settings only changes the settings for KDE apps. You probably have to use .asoundrc or asound.conf to configure it unless you use Pulseaudio (which I use and works great with HDMI by the way) Look through here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Alsa
