Any tips

Have you unmuted the correct channels ?
For example, I do this at starting :

#!/bin/sh


# The Oss emulation
echo "Loading Oss emulation..." &&
modprobe snd-seq-oss &&
modprobe snd-pcm-oss &&
modprobe snd-mixer-oss &&
echo "OK" &&
# unmute Master Stereo
amixer -c 0 set Master 80% unmute &&
# unmute PCM (This really set the volume)
amixer -c 0 set PCM 80% unmute &&
# unmute Headphones
amixer -c 0 set Headphone 80% unmute &&
# unmute Master Mono (We can use it for record)
amixer -c 0 set 'Master Mono' 80% unmute &&
# unmute Auxiliaries
amixer -c 0 set Aux 80% unmute

This is for my soundcard (ens1371), try to tune it to get it with yours.

It is simpler to use alsamixer to once set the levels as desired and then use /usr/sbin/alsactl store|restore on module unload|load.

However, if play is running just fine then the problem is not with muting ot unmuting. Go to the preferences of xmms and see what it has in "Output Plugin". There is a chance you are using libesdout.so. Just change it to libOSS.so and "Configure" it to make sure the dsp device it tries to use is the one that does work with "play". It is probably better to get the alsa plugin for xmms though - http://savannah.gnu.org/download/alsa-xmms/ or go to https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=28610 for some RPM version, but I have no idea how good the latter would be.
