>From your other email, it looks like you're using ALSA.  Just tell xmms
that you are using alsa (set alsa as output).  Also, you can put
something like this in your /etc/udev/rules.d directory:
KERNEL="audio*",        SYMLINK="%k"
KERNEL="dsp*",          SYMLINK="%k"
KERNEL="adsp*",         SYMLINK="%k"
KERNEL="midi*",         SYMLINK="%k"
KERNEL="mixer*",        SYMLINK="%k"
KERNEL="sequencer*",    SYMLINK="%k"
KERNEL="amidi*",        SYMLINK="%k"
KERNEL="dmmidi*",       SYMLINK="%k"
KERNEL="admmidi*",      SYMLINK="%k"

Call the file something like 50sound.rules
It basically creates the OSS symlinks to the actual device nodes.
