With xmms if you runing in Gnome or Eligthenment you need to use the eSound out put plugin. In KDE the Arts one you can some times use the AlSA one however no other application will beable to make a sound and can cause crasses or hangs.And the OSS plugin should work in most environments but also my produce crashes or hangs of other apps if they try to use the sound as well.
