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 ! > > Is there any way to listen music immediately on login.
