No you can have it running but that error from the previuos message
shouldn't be happening so it is a good idea to try using xmms without esd.
If you kill esd and start xmms making sure that it is using the oss
drivers then everything should work. You can change the settings for the
driver in the property options for xmms.

I thought you were di you get put of by the error from install. You must
be pretty close by now.
What happens?
Do you have the modules in the correct dir?
ls /lib/modules/[version]/kernel/sound/snd-xxx
If not and you would like to use ALSA, then I think it is time you learn
how to install the kernel because it is obvious that Redhat have fsck'd
up for your computer. Don't sweat it. The lowlatency howto has very
detailed instructions for installing the kernel.
