I don't know exactly, but if XmmS has an arts output plugin, you should
certainly use it, since arts is KDE's default sound daemon.

Does it work when you remove that stale socket?

If none of the above works, you can use the following command to find
out which process bocks your dsp device:

fstat | grep dsp
