To use xboard in ICS mode, run it in the foreground with the -ics option, and use the terminal you started it from to type commands and receive text responses from the chess server.
If xboard is configured and compiled on a system that does not include libXpm (or the --disable-xpm option is given to the configure program), the bitmap pieces are compiled in as the default.
FEN positions saved by xboard never include correct information about whether castling is legal or how many half-moves have been made since the last irreversible move, and sometimes may not correctly indicate when en passant capture is available.

 Running XBoard in Irssi LG #112
That is to say, you start xboard in an xterm, and it's almost as if you'd used telnet to connect except you have a graphical chess board.
The server will output a line while you are in the middle of typing something, so that half of your message ends up on one line and half on another This can be confusing and difficult to use.
This is, of course, totally useless for the "soundMove" event for reasons discussed earlier, but every other event that XBoard sees involves something being printed, and thus Irssi will see the BEL in a timely manner.
