Are you sure about that? I mean, are you sure that the original problems
were with 1.2.10-16?

*after* your system was first updated to 1.2.10-18. (Perhaps you have an
automated yum update). If that happened, you would have encountered this
known bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=175493).
An uninstall and a re-install of 1.2.10-16 would have fixed it, of
course: you'd have got the earlier version without the bug. But next
time you run yum, of course, it sees that there's a newer version of
xmms, doesn't realise that it's buggy, and offers to upgrade...
I recommend:
* watching the bugzilla report for any solutions
* sticking with 1.2.10-16 for the time being
* maybe putting
exclude=xmms
in your /etc/yum.conf file.
Hope this helps,
James.
