xmms crashes immediately
Good evening. Problem is that every time I try to play anything with xmms, it crashes immediately. It just quits. Does anyone have similar problems and how could I solve them.
Alternatively, is there another similar player with easy access to playlists and module support?
Thanks.

Try to start xmms from a console window, play anything with it and if it crashes post the error message you get in the console where you started it from.

Is this with mandrake? Try running it without the soundwrapper and/or turn off the KDE sound server if you are using it.

Or, simply open up xmms alone (without a song - it should do this) and change the output plugin from "oss" to "arts" or download the alsa plugin and us it. (urpmi xmms-alsa). Silly oversite on behalf of the Mandrake team.
