are you sure that while x was starting up you already had your sound 
server running in background ( like for kde it should be artsd ).
may be the real problem is when exactly in the x startup sequence, the 
sound server gets started. unless you have a sound server running ( mind 
it only one ) xmms or mpg123 or ogg123 cann't work.
there should not be any conflict too. like kde has started artsd, and your 
xmms instance tries to play music on an esd instance !

obviously. configure kde from control panel. you will find something 
called startup music. just change it to your file.
