Yes, OSS hasn't been used for many years.  You probably want to
configure mplayer to use ALSA instead if you want to use it to play
to audio rather than just testing the URL.  Try "-ao alsa" for a quick
test.  You might have to use pulseaudio or some other output though
depending on how you've configured your system.

You'll have to keep an eye on the log and see what it says after 'xmms2
add'.  No need to play it because adding the file will attempt to start
a download to see if it can be played.

This is the final message but it's the ones leading up to this that
tell you what the problem might be.
