Are you using ALSA or OSS? ALSA is multithreaded and allows multiple
processes to use the sound system. OSS/esd uses locking causing only one
process to use it at a time, and blocking other processes which are
trying to use it too.

Quit xmms. Run "ps ax" and see if there are any processes named "esd"
running. Kill them if any and then run xmms.

Else, if you are using alsa sound drivers, use the ALSA output plugin of
xmms (should be part of xmms).
