To patch, v:
make a change to a source-code to fix a bug or add a feature

man patch for details.

Learn to read your man-pages, you've been on
LQ for a while ... ;)

What you need is to download fribidi (if you haven't yet) and
the source for xmms-1.2.10 ...

Compile/install fribidi

untar xmms-src
cd xmms-dir
bzcat xmms-1.2.10_bidi.patch.bz2 | patch -p1

Cheers,
Tink

P.S.: Moved, too, better fit in Linux-Software

locate fribidi

And a suggestion:
Why don't you try to learn to walk before
attempting to run?
