No - I don't believe I did. I don't think I had any sound whatsoever. As far as alsa & aRts goes, the following RPMs are installed here:
libarts2-devel-2.1.2-2mdk
arts-2.1.2-2mdk
libarts2-2.1.2-2mdk
alsa-lib-devel-0.5.10-2mdk
alsa-utils-0.5.10-2mdk
alsa-lib-0.5.10-2mdk
Probably anything w/ -devel you won't need (then again, maybe you will if you need to recompile any sound apps ;). And as for XMMS - the version on the CD is BAD ... get Stew's recompile from the mirrors (should be in Mandrake-devel/cooker/ppc/Mandrake/RPMS/ - just look for a version more recent than yours.
See if that gets you going. If not - write back. Seeing as that I have the exact same machine you do (assuming your's is a 400MHz iMac DV) - I'm sure we can get this figured out ;)

I also have an iMac DV and I've gotten sound to work fine. I'll write
more in a bit (I'm on my way out to dinner) - but basically, I'm using
the aRts and alsa systems. I have the following lines in my
/etc/modules.conf:
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
# ALSA portion
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-awacs
# OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# OSS/Free portion - card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
Get that in there and see if that gets you going. If not - wait for my
next installment ;)

bring it up again. I have no sound at all on my Imac DV. If starting up
with the KDE desktop I get a really annoying blast of static. If I use
gnome there is nothing. I get no system sounds at all.
