Usually this is part of the application's resposibility.
If XMMS doesn't allow this (IMHO very unlikely, all the other players I have 
can do this) it might be a design/usability decision of the respective 
developers.

However you could try working with ksystraycmd:

For media players there is also the option to use the player control applet 
which should also work with XMMS.

Kevin
