Ah, well there goes that then... I think :)

My understanding of the IPC is non-existant, but if
you can explain it in a couple of sentences, that
would be helpful. What I don't understand is why when
a second invocation of xmms is run, how it interacts
and connects with the first process. In ps, there is a
new xmms PID after the second invocation is run, but
there's only one GUI.

Even with multiple invocations of XMMS, if a second
xmms is run, it sees that it isn't connecting to a
previous xmms session and does a read_config(),
otherwise, xmms assumes that the current session_id
has all the config state it needs and doesn't need to
reread the config.
