I'd guess xmms (and other apps) are simply attempting to use the first
configured sound card. If you can't specify different output device in
your applications, maybe you can try playing with /etc/modprobe.conf to
switch the order of the cards. Editing alias lines and swapping
snd-card-0 and snd-card-1, and rebooting should do the trick.
It will not make VIA card work, but at least Cmedia will be the primary
sound card (and used by all apps by default).
