This is probably useful but the main problem I see is you are using a 
few apps that could be running alsa native but you are using the oss 
drivers instead.

mplayer will use whatever driver you specify in the config file. I 
assume xine is the same. Thats pretty much the best fix AFAICT. Then you 
only have to find a way to make sure you're java plugins don't make 
noise and stop using xmms until they fix the alsa driver.

Anything that xmms can stream mplayer can do too. Anything that doesn't 
require streaming alsaplayer can do.

Have you had major problems with java plugins? In this case you should 
look into ways to get around that. (Some people have been known to 
invest in a second $10 card just for browsing).

  Apparently upon the beginning of the barrage, the donkey broke 
discipline and panicked, toppling the cart. At that point, the rockets 
disconnected from the timer, leaving them strewn around the street. 
Tethered to the now toppled cart, the donkey was unable to escape before 
the arrival of U.S. troops.
