Check that your output plugin is set to OSS and not the Disk Writer 
plugin in your preferences. What your describing sounds exactly like 
the behavior when you're converting something to burn. If that's not 
it, file a pr with as much config and system info as you can. Also, 
you didn't say if you were running xmms or xmms2.
