Is this related to the alsa 0.5 -> 0.9 update? It seems they changed some things in 0.9 (locations of files etc) that cause issues elsewhere as well...
xmms-aalsa is for alsa-0.5.x alsa-xmms is for alsa-0.9.x I am running the current alsa-0.9.0rc2 with no problems with this plugin. If you are updated to the latest version of alsa *AND* your sound works correctly otherwise *AND* the plugin still does not work, reopen this bug.
