sound question

My computers are running FC6 and gnome. One of them, A, is connected to
the stereo. Everything works fine on A but I want to control the sound
remotely, from B. So, while logged on to B, I ssh to A and start up
xmms. I get the message:
"Couldn't open audio (on A). Please check that your soundcard is
configured properly, you have the correct output plugin selected, no
other program is blocking the soundcard."
I get this error only if no one has already logged on to A directly,
without having gone through ssh. If someone is logged on to A (at A)
and then I ssh from B to A and start xmms, it plays normally.
Why is this and is there some workaround? Thanks for the help!
