Thanks for your answer. I tried this, but there are some "failed 
dependancies"...

So, my next question is: is possible to tell yum to install specific 
i386 packages (with right dependancies of course!)?

It seems also, that xmms is not working: I have only 2 output plugins: 
arts and crossfade. With the first one xmms complains that it cannot 
connect a arts server, the second one kills xmms...
