Probably a permission missing on /dev/sound/?. BTW, did you ran the snd-devices 
script inside alsa-driver/ (source)? You must do it if you don't use devfs. 
Also if you use devfs, simply check the permissions.

There are only 8/16 bit (un)signed mono or stereo formats available for xmms, 
sorry. Perhaps you might want to try alsa-player which must support similar 
functionalities.
