Thanks Paul,
I followed the steps mentioned in the FAQ. It was stupid of me to not do so in the first place. Well interestingly, XMMS is still unable to play the file using KDE 3.3, while I play any MP3, it gives an error saying "Can't play audio" and adds some errors about the soundcard, correct output plugin, etc. I am able to hear the system sounds and also play audio CDs fine with KsCD. I am also unable to play MP3s with Noatun.
I logged in with Gnome 2,8 and whoa, XMMS can easily play the same files without errors! I log in with KDE again and same problems!
Can anyone explain what might be the issue?
You probably have an output plugin that conflicts with artsd. Go into the Options->Preferences->Audio I/O PlugIns area and at the bottom you should see "Output Plugin". Select arts and see if that takes care of it for you.
I'd disable aRts altogether, but that's just me.
