Please use the correct mailing list for user related questions, either kde or 
kde-linux (see my last mail).

It's propably better to install "amarok" or you should use "juk". They are 
both much better than xmms. Juk is probably already installed, look in the 
Multimedia menu. That should solve your problem best.

If you really need to have xmms, you must specifically install the xmms-arts 
output plugin. I have no idea if fedora provides it on the CDs.

The other option is to open the Control Center, go to Sound System and 
deactivate the sound system. Then KDE / arts does not block the sound card 
anymore and you can use xmms to play music - but KDE (and juk) won't have any 
sound anymore if you do this.

Raphael

PS: And please register at the KDE user mailing lists for the next questions.
