nvidia-settings puts it in  Section "Screen" as you can see in my
previous post and below. Before, it was set to "0" for both screens.
Now it is set to "1" for Screen 0 and to "0" for Screen 1. Maybe I
forgot saving at Screen 1. (I used nvidia-settings again.)

Now, it's weird. The login screen appears only on the TV. Then,
everything disappears and only the monitor works :) I suppose setting
both Screens to "1". should fix this.

But, not tonight. I'm falling asleep.

Thanks again for your help. I'll then check for the audio problem if
nobody has the answer.

Present configuration in xorg:

Section "Screen"

    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "TwinView" "1"
    Option         "metamodes" "CRT: 1280x1024_75 +0+0, DFP:
nvidia-auto-select +1280+0; CRT: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen1"
    Device         "Device1"
    Monitor        "Monitor1"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "TwinView" "0"
    Option         "metamodes" "DFP: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
