More broken yum dependencies....

Looks to me like you are trying to update flac with a newer version  
without also updating everything that depends upon the old version of  
flac to depend upon the new version.

freshrpms-: ##################################################  
2622/2622
dries     : ################################################## 603/603
dag       : ##################################################  
1389/1389
livna-stab: ################################################## 112/112
freshrpms-: ################################################## 336/336
atrpms-sta: ################################################## 584/584
fedora-bas: ##################################################  
2622/2622
freshrpms : ################################################## 452/452
fedora-upd: ################################################## 336/336

If you are going to use that many repositories - then please use smart,  
which I think you can get from dag - and give Fedora Base and Fedora  
Updates Released a higher priority than then the others.

Your problem is a repository clash, yum wants to update stuff it can't  
update because doing so would break dependencies.

Another option (other than using smart) is to turn off by default  
freshrpms, atrpms-stable, dag, dries

Then when you want something from one of those repositories -  
specifically enable the repo in your yum command

yum --enable-repo=freshrpms install xmms-mp3

for example.
