Note for people that upgrade to FC2. It might be good to backup your 
.xmms directory to disk before doing an upgrade. It is currently broken 
for rawhide (development). It works if you install the directory from a 
working installation.

Also to note. You might have to switch the sound devices to alsa on FC2 
from this directory.

-----------------

Rhythmbox works pretty decent from rawhide. I didn't load the mp3 
support rpm. Oggs play fine though.
