I seem to recall reading here that xmms attempts to grab SCHED_RR if possible. If that is indeed the case, I suspect that the above suggestion to run xmms as root does not let the user exploit the strength of EBS. Since, as I understand it, EBS affects SCHED_NORMAL processes not SCHED_RR processes.
