XMMS should still work with Alsa in Etch even when it is configured for OSS (the
default). Other apps may be affected by the underlying problem eg Audacity.
A similar problem was resolved in the recent thread "Some ALSA apps stopped
working" [1].
I suggest that you check that /dev/dsp exists:
# file /dev/dsp
/dev/dsp: ERROR: cannot open `/dev/dsp' (No such file or directory)
If you get an error, re-create it and check again:
# modprobe snd_pcm_oss
# file /dev/dsp
/dev/dsp: character special (14/3)
Check that XMMS now works even when configured fo OSS.
