xmms uses PCM (by default). If you used that to adjust your volume it'll
adjust the PCM channel instead of master. That happened to me a while back
and it took me a while to figure out what was happening. PCM shouldn't be set
to more than (roughly 74%).
xmms can be configured to use master instead of pcm if desired.
