First, I really hope someone else will also attempt to help you as I won't be able to take you very far :-)
Your configuration files looks OK to me, and I don't know why you shouldn't be able to access the /dev/dsp devices with the right permissions? Some things to try: 1. Have you tried to run as 'root', just to positively rule out any permissions problem? 2. What info do you get if you run the following commands when you think you are ready to run xmms: /sbin/lspci /sbin/lsmod If you get a "command not found" error then the paths for you are different, and you can do it as 'root' instead. This is to ensure that all devices actually exists and all modules are loaded and ready. 3. You might also want to remove the ESS soundcard for now, just to rule out any conflicts. You may put it back later when the first soundcard works, but be prepared to some more stuggles because ISA based sound cards are a pain in my experience.
