I had a very similar problem; the solution was very simple. In audacious
(Gentoo has deprecated xmms in favor of audacious) I had the output
device set to ``Intel ICH7 (hw:0,0)''. It was totally stealing the sound
device. When I changed it to ``Default PCM device'', all sound works
fine in all applications simultaneously. 

(Note that I have an intel8x0 sound controller, and had to enable dmix
in alsa-sound for this to work.)
