I got around this by telling the OSS output driver in xmms to use /dev/dspW0.2 rather than /dev/dspW. This is with a SBLive! card that supports multiple virtual output channels. I believe that dspW0.0 through dspW0.3 are mixed into the single real output channel by the hardware. Obviously I read about this somewhere, but I can't for the life of me remember where. I assume the existence of these extra channels will be hardware-specific, so this trick might not work with your card.
