Yes, the Xfce spin uses gdm as a login manager...

Xfce does not have a login manager itself. You have to use some other
existing one, or login to a text session and use startx or the like. 

I'm not sure what conflict you are running into with sound controllers
there. Is it after you have logged in? where do you see both of them? 
How do they conflict?
