Are you using Gnome or KDE? Most probably, a sound daemon like ESD is 
running, and it uses your hardware already. You configure your output 
plugin of xmms to use Esd/Arts instead of /dev/dsp. Alternatively, you 
can specify kernel parameters so it will allow sharing of your sound 
card(s). Please refer to the FreeBSD handbook about configuring multiple 
channels on a single sound card.

Best,
