Okay, I went to bed and tried again after a few hours of sleep <grin>.
Similar to a poster above, once I changed "PLUGHW" to lowercase "plughw", the error message went away and I started to get some nasty screeching through the TV speakers. At least we're moving in the right direction. I then switched "Audio output" in xbmc's "Audio - settings" from "HDMI" to "Analog" and lo and behold, I could hear the movie's soundtrack! I don't understand since the only cable I'm using is the HDMI cable. Why wouldn't "HDMI" work? And what is the difference between the two settings, HDMI vs. Analog?
At least I have sound though, yeah!
