It sounds like the KDE sound daemon aRts (under control panel, multimedia, stuff... somewhere), is set muted for joe user. Might just want to see if the regular mixer settings are muted.
Cheers,

Redhat does not support mp3's "out of the box", you'll have to install that support yourself. Have a look here.

good luck.

Still no sound from xmms? Is something else tying up the sound card?

Disable aRts, that's usually a good bet when other applications can't get access to the sound card... at least, that's what helped my crappy cmpci card in the past.

Run the sound setup. Make sure you restore the sound settings (Restore Mixer) and your drivers are setup for the spacific card.
