You don't say what desktop environment you're running, but if it has a sound daemon (such as aRTS in KDE), it's very possible the sound daemon has control of the audio device, and SDL can't use it. aRTS has a setting that releases the sound card device after a certain time period, usually one minute. Try launching frozen-bubble after aRTS releases the sound card. If you're not using a sound daemon, what output plugin is XMMS using, and are you running XMMS at the same time?
