  I'm having this problem also and with me xmms isn't playing sounds. Actually I think it's more to the fact it's not opening any files.
  I've installed mplayer and it runs and plays fine. But for some reason, xmms isn't working correctly.

  I found out why xmms isn't working. Go to xmms.org and at the bottom of the page, read the RH8 UPdate section.
  However, I wasn't able to get the mp3's to work after trying what xmms.org sugested. If anyone does get xmms to play mp3's, I would like to hear from you or give me a link where I can look up the solution.
  
  Thanks,

  Dear friend
  There is nothing wrong with your sound card or xmms , actually the xmms in rhlinux8 do not support mp3 format, to be able to play ye'll have to download a plugin from xmms's home page or download the mplayer a player that plays mp3's as well other audio and video formats. I can email them to you if you like.

  download the xmms 123 plugin from the internet
  
  its a rpm file and can be installed by just double clicking on the explorer
  
  and then run the xmms player then it will work
