It's probably esd.  When you pause XMMS esd can somehow block all I/O on
the screen.  Eventually everything on the screen will freeze until you
"killall -KILL xmms" via SSH or a console.

Try to change your "Output Plugin" in Audio I/O Preferences to use OSS
instead of "eSound Output Plugin."  I use the xmms-crossfade output
plugin (from Fedora Stable at fedora.us).


Note: You may lose other sound events on Linux 2.4 if your sound card
driver doesn't allow multiple playback streams.  My Sound Blaster Live
works fine since its OSS driver supports multiple (32?) simultaneous
playback streams.
