I think you are making things unnecessarily complex...
Here is what I use.. works for all apps and not just XMMS! And I run the OSD
Mixer from osdsh .. so I get a really cool meter on the bottom of the screen
when I'm changing the settings!
Here are the relevant lines from my .fvwm2rc ...
#Sound Controls....
#Master Volume
Key XF86AudioLowerVolume A N Exec /usr/bin/aumix -v -3
Key XF86AudioRaiseVolume A N Exec /usr/bin/aumix -v +3
#PCM Volume
Key XF86AudioLowerVolume A M Exec /usr/bin/aumix -w -3
Key XF86AudioRaiseVolume A M Exec /usr/bin/aumix -w +3
#Bass
Key XF86AudioLowerVolume A C Exec /usr/bin/aumix -b -3
Key XF86AudioRaiseVolume A C Exec /usr/bin/aumix -b +3
#Treble
Key XF86AudioLowerVolume A 4 Exec /usr/bin/aumix -t -3
Key XF86AudioRaiseVolume A 4 Exec /usr/bin/aumix -t +3
#Mute
Key XF86AudioMute A A Exec /usr/bin/amixer -c1 sset Master toggle
#XMMS Specific controls..
Key XF86AudioPlay A N Exec /usr/bin/xmms -t
Key XF86AudioStop A N Exec /usr/bin/xmms -s
Key XF86AudioPrev A N Exec /usr/bin/xmms -r
Key XF86AudioNext A N Exec /usr/bin/xmms -f
(you will have to change the Mute command.. I have two sound cards and use
Alsa)
