Hhhm, ok, lets have a closer look on your system and which version of xmms you 
use.

- Open a Terminal

- What says an:
  apt-cache show xmms|grep Version:


- And an:
  uname -r


- And a:
  groups


- You mentioned other media applications are able to play sound. 
  May I ask which ones? 

- BTW, you gave beep-media-player a try, it's a gtk2 rewrite of xmms.
