Probably a program such as esd or arts opens the sound device and prevents
xmms from accessing it at the same time. Running alsaconf does
"/etc/init.d/alsa force-unload" which kills that program; then xmms can
open the device.
Assuming that esd is the one opening the device, you should select the esd
output plugin in xmms. Then it won't block trying to play.
