I had such a problem. Started XMMS and got a segfault. Ran DDD and watched 
what was happening.

In my case i am using OSS and no ALSA. But XMMS had an ALSA library installed 
under /usr/lib/xmms/Output/ and tried to load it and so it crashed.

I manually removed this library and from this moment on everything ran fine :)

Hope this helps.
