In XMMS' Options->Preferences->[Audio I/O Plugins] tab, what is selected
for [Output Plugin]? If you're running ESD under GNOME, you probably
don't want to use the ALSA plugin; if you see ALSA listed, try eSound.
Do you have some CDDA plugin? I see that one of my [Input plugins]
is "AudioCD Reader 0.14a [libcdread.so]" and it's configured to read
/dev/cdrom. I know my CD-ROM drive isn't connected to my sound card, but
I can play audio CDs.
I'm not sure any of this explains why other players wouldn't work, but
maybe it's worth a shot.
