Good day Rick,
This was a very constructive reply.
No apologies required.
I am so glad you did reply.
My system is now fixed.

.xmms/config for user was..
output_plugin=/usr/lib64/xmms/Output/libOSS.so
.xmms for root was..
output_plugin=/usr/lib64/xmms/Output/libALSA.so

Copied from root to user and all is well.
Thank you.
Johan
