is it just web sound you can't hear or is it any sound?
what audio out are you using with xmms: alsa, oss, esd?
I'm willing to bet that you're starting some sound daemon in the
process of starting xmms and that soudn daemon is still around after
you exit and its blocking up the sound.

How is your XMMS configured? ALSA? Esd?

XMMS should still work with Alsa in Etch even when it is configured for OSS (the
default). Other apps may be affected by the underlying problem eg Audacity.
A similar problem was resolved in the recent thread "Some ALSA apps stopped
working" [1].
I suggest that you check that /dev/dsp exists:
# file /dev/dsp
/dev/dsp: ERROR: cannot open `/dev/dsp' (No such file or directory)
If you get an error, re-create it and check again:
# modprobe snd_pcm_oss
# file /dev/dsp
/dev/dsp: character special (14/3)
Check that XMMS now works even when configured fo OSS.
