You have two sound cards a CMEDIA that is pcm0 and a Creative that is pcm1, by
default all the programs send the audio to /dev/dsp who is a symbolic link to
/dev/dsp0, the 'Digitized voice device' of pcm0.

Chech xmms configuration and mplayer command line options to tell them to send
the sound to /dev/dsp1 or the device that you wana use, maybe pcm1 isn't working
because of that error, but i don't know about that.

Also by default the devices for pcm1 are not in /dev, go to /dev and do a 'sh
MAKEDEV snd1' and check where the symbolic link /dev/dsp is pointing.
