Xmms is inconsistent

[dubbac]

My Xmms will not always work.
For instance...I was listening to music find last night, but tonite, Xmms just hangs.
I use an es1371 sound card loaded as a module. Gnome sounds work fine...
Debian woody (in the middle of a kernel upgrade)...

This may be totally irrelevant because I'm using a different distribution, but I found that xmms worked better under KDE than under GNOME.

[dubbac]

I left KDE cause it was doing the same thing AND it appeared that aRTS was causing it.

Must not have been it.
I am gonna keep diggin...

Try the OSS driver. It worked for me.
