Does this happen with older versions of software / kernel or only with
that combination?

What video card? Did you change XFree86 settings?
What sound card? What motherboard/chipset?
What about sharing interrupts?

Can you try running xmms directly from shell (ie. without
soundwrapper, so xmms won't be using artsd bug plays directly to
/dev/* sound devices).

You can also try to run xmms (and/or artsd) with higher priority (or
realtime priority) ... say -5 or -10 should be enough.

If you're kernel--patching'n'compiling-capable-guy, you can try low
latency patches if it helps:

(or find mini-ll low latency patch (from Andrew too) in LKML archive)
