    Is this an upgrade or a fresh install?

    What do you find in /etc/modprobe.conf (and /etc/modules.conf)?

    What output driver is configured in XMMS preferences? If you choose
    "OSS Driver" just for testing, does that work?

    What kernel modules are loaded when you try XMMS? Run /sbin/lsmod

    Do you find anything audio/ALSA/ens1371 related in /var/log/messages?
