are your channel faders up (not just unmuted) ? to make sure, start
xmms, then alsamixer and play with the settings (preferably *not* with
headphones :) - usually you need to raise at least the master AND "pcm"
or something like that.
how's the sound doing on the evil side (just to check your speakers are
set up ok) ?
did you try aplay somefile.wav ? if this works, xmms is probably using
the OSS output plugin, and you don't have the compatibility modules
running...
just guesses. you will probably have more luck on the alsa-user mailing
list if this did not help you.
best,
jörn
