It's not the mp3's. It is the fact that they are mono. many newer cards
and even some pretty high end onboard sound setups don't support mono
any longer. Though I don't have any mono mp3's to check this out with,
I did have the same problem with festival. I did find a fix in the
gentoo forums. The fix is specific to festival so probably not
appropriate for you, I would suggest a forum search or do some googling
for mono and xmms.
FYI, I'm running an Nforce2 based chipset with 6.1 onboard sound.
