Thanks : using OSS solves indeed the problem (worth being added to the
FAQ). 
There is a second solution : changing ALSA default timers : as
mentioned on http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=162622 :

XMMS works too but you have to manually change the output plugin to ALSA
and change its configuration : set the Buffer time to 3000ms and the Period
time to 500ms.

Hope it can help other Gentoo ibook users.
