Bear in mind that you don't need to select any "selections". When picking packages, you can change the filter to "package groups" or "search" as well.
I will sometimes grab a few selections, but by and large your system will get bloated if you rely upon them too heavily. Also, not every game is in the games selection. It is only a collection of most of the better games available. To fine tune your system, you will probably want to browse by package groups instead.
I don't see what you're asking for with xmms and mp3's. I've always had xmms capable of playing mp3's immediately after install. As for WMA, I'd recommend mplayer. This ISN'T a package provided by SuSE (trying to avoid liability, I think). Instead you can get this from one of several other sources. After you are installed, open YaST and add a new installation source (under "change source of installation") to point to
http://packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/9.3 . Now you should be able to find mplayer in the "install and remove software" wizard.
(another installation source that I haven't fully explored is
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/9.3)
(When adding an installation source, don't start or end a line with a '/'. These are done for you.)
