But the FAQ is wrong, as the suggestion doesn't work.  At least on the default 
yum.conf that FC3 installs, as the xmms-mp3 RPMs apparently aren't in the 
default yum repositories--I tried. A google search on "Fedora Core 3 mp3" 
yielded:

The option to install a freshmeat RPM succeeded on my system. Now I discover I 
can't get my sound card working ...
