Hi Paul I'm using FC2test1 so my version of xine might be different than
yours. But this *should* work for you also.  Open xine and enter setup.
It looks like a wrench under xine-0.9.22-0.lvn.4.1.90. On the GUI tab
find "configuration experience level". Select Expert or better then
click apply.  Click on the VCD tab and at the bottom the last option is
"default CD drive used for VCD when none given". The name says it all.
Hope this does the trick for you.
