Why not just "xmms" as a > command? KDE uses arts daemon to share sound card. If any application opens a sound device, it usually blocks other applications from using it. Arts is KDE's workaround for this. KDE applications and other arts-aware programs can play sound through arts which accepts multiple sounds to be played at once. For non-arts programs, soundwrapper is provided which tries to emulate standard sound devices for the program using arts. I currently dont run KDE and last time I tried it the warapper was named astswrapper I think. But this is probably the reason.
