Description Braulio Junior 2005-11-19 19:07:21 UTC 
I'm trying to get my xmms working like in 9.3 version. I'm using same soundcard (SoundBlaster - Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI)

No playing at all, mp3 or ogg files

I tryed under WindowMaker, KDE and GNOME.

For records, some outputs:

Comment 1 Takashi Iwai 2005-11-23 17:11:33 UTC 
Please elaborate what do you mean "no playing".

mp3 doesn't work with xmms on 10.0 with an extra package (which is not distributed).
Comment 2 Braulio Junior 2005-11-24 02:14:07 UTC 
I solve the problem installing xmms from the "pac-man" repository. But, for records, when I was trying to play a mp3 list, the cursor was jumping trough all files, and was playing no one of them.

Now:

xmms-devel-1.2.10-79.pm.1
xmms-lib-1.2.10-79.pm.1
xmms-lib-mad-1.2.10-79.pm.1
xmms-1.2.10-79.pm.1
xmms-plugins-1.2.10-15
Comment 3 Takashi Iwai 2005-11-24 10:43:07 UTC 
Skipping files means that the format isn't supported.  Possibly lack of libmad or so.

Note that basically I can't help about MP3 on 10.0 unless you bought a license of MP3.  So I recommend you to ask on packman list.
Comment 4 Braulio Junior 2005-11-24 13:02:53 UTC 
Ok,

Now I understand, reading the http://www.mp3licensing.com/royalty/software.html page. I'll buy it.

Thanks in advance.
