Sorry, but I can't help you. It works here.
I don't know the code base, so I can only suggest the standard
troubleshooting techniques: To check wheter or not the dsp device is
opened, monitoring your esound server, etc.

About the plugins-question: I'm not sure, but I don't think you can
use precompiled xmms-plugins with Audacious, but most probably just
needs to be recompiled against the new library, with little or no
changes to the source code at all. Also, most plugins are already
ported to Audacious and are included in a vanilla install, like all
the standard input and output plugins.

Fair enough, most do indeed seem a bit immature.
Whatever you use, I hope it meets your needs.
