Hrm.  I have noticed that xmms hangs if it's using the enlightenment
sound daemon and esd has crapped out.  (Which it seems to do
frequently.)

Does `ps -eaf | grep esd` show anything?  If so, perhaps kill that
process, run the same command manually, and see if xmms is happier.

If xmms is using esd, you will see eSound chosen in
XMMS->options->preferences under Output Plugin.  If it's not using esd,
then this is a red herring.

Actually, what *is* chosen under Output Plugin?
