Heh, to my surprise, when Installed OSS v4 with my script (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=655100), I tried to see if Banshee works. So it's really not a Banshee problem, or a Totem one (though I installed the xine variant of it), it's an ALSA one, and as I can't have more than 2 sound sources pumping at a time (one directly, one via alsa-oss), Banshee couldn't play. But as OSS can handle multiple sources nicely, I have no problem.
