yes.

RTFM.

xmms and other audio-only players don't use syncronization functions of teh
audio driver - mplayer does. if it's broken, mplayer won't work, playback
will be jerky.

you can also try -autosync 30
(it will smooth/emulate the syncro stuff of oss)

or -ao sdl

or use alsa, it's much better than kernel's oss drivers

or use oss commercial, it's even better than alsa - but costs money :(
(but at least is compliant with the oss specs/standard, unlike teh kernel's
broken-to-hell oss drivers...)
