Is this with a fresh user account, where no old configuration files
are still being used? Or perhaps xmms still looks for OSS by default?

Try to delete your old configuration. Or reconfigure XMMS to use a different
output plugin, such as one for ALSA or Pulse Audio (package "xmms-pulse").

Alternatively, consider switching to a new [actively maintained] audio
player. Try "yum search xmms" to find related packages.
