This looks like poor programming on part of gtv. All apps should clear garbage from /tmp on exit ... It is apparant that xmms is also opening this file, and refusing to make a new one because the old one is already there, which has incompatible ownership records. The solution is to kill this file in /tmp and then run xmms. In case you are in the habit of running both the apps in succession, you may even consider making a small script to kill this /tmp/.esd and then run xmms.
