I can understand that, since you've got long-running processing happening.

This, I'm not so sure of. I've seen some odd stuff with xmms in relation
to sound daemons. I'm sure there's some logical pattern to it, but I've
never been able to entirely discern it. Thus my recommendation to
simplify your environment. Since you can't currently do that at the
moment, I'm not convinced that you'll readily find the solution, but
that's just based on my limited experience, not on any real knowledge.

Again, it's been my experience that just because one player works, that
doesn't mean another will. I've particularly had difficulty getting
multiple players to play when one of those is xmms, and particularly
when in KDE which tries to keep a sound daemon running.
