I don't think the kernel you choose right now is
as important as getting
the sound drivers working well. I use 2.4.20 still on Gentoo, and a
newer 2.4.23 on Redhat. They both work fine.
I think you should get moved up to Alsa-1.0.0rcxxx as soon as is
practical. There have been changes to APIs and lots of fixes to things.
It's what you want to run.
xmms is an OSS application, so you must have OSS
emulation loaded
correctly. I run xmms all the time, so it will work. I can see some of
it above, but it would be helpful if you provided your modules.conf file
contents. (For me anyway...) ;-)

## alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
