Same problem under Windows where the ASIO-drivers cannot be used in
conjunction with the Windows-MultimediaExtensions (MME).

I feel not well about arts and esd. They are only necessary for
non-ALSA-platforms where the underlaying sound-architecture, i.e. OSS,
is blocking, so they cannot play their error-wavs while xmms is
running :)

Have a look at:
http://www.op.net/~pbd/alsa-audio.html  (ALSA Devel-FAQ)

and especially at the last paragraph.
