Ehhh? Did I see a "clue bat emoticon" in this forum?
To the best of my knowledge, playing mp3s on XMMS, accompanied by soundevents generated by ESD (or, whatever the Gnome uses) or aRts (KDE) ALWAYS results in backlog of sounds being spit out at end. It has nothing to with ALSA, unfortunately. Unfortunately because easy software-based mixing is not built into the ALSA yet. They have this
dmix thing though.
The best suggestion is to stick to software that uses same soundsystem output. In your case, switch to ESD (Gnome) based mp3 player. (That is assuming GAIM used ESD too, someone?) Sounds will be mixed in ESD and not delayed.
