First thing to check is the config on your sound card - even if it appears to be working okay it might not be. I spent hours this week trying to sort out a (vaguely) similar problem. I could play WAVs in XMMS, but not MP3s, and I couldn't get esd to work. Turned out to be because I'd only set 1 out of 2 DMAs on my sound card. (If anyone can explain why XMMS could play WAVs but not MP3s when it was setup like this, I'd be interested to know.)
