----
configure gtkpod to use xmms as player

# rpm -qa|grep xmms
xmms-mp3-1.2.10-14.2.fc4.rf
xmms-1.2.10-19.fc4
xmms-aac-2.0-5.2.fc4.rf

# rpm -q gtkpod
gtkpod-0.99.2-1.2.fc4.rf

# cat /home/craig/.gtkpod/gtkpod.out
#!/bin/sh
#
sudo /usr/bin/eject /dev/sdb2
sudo /sbin/modprobe -r sbp2
sudo /usr/bin/eject /dev/sdb2
# note...I have to run the eject a second time...I don't understand why

# tail -n 6 /etc/sudoers
sbp2_force_inquiry_hack=1, /sbin/rmmod sbp2
Cmnd_Alias IPOD=/sbin/modprobe -r sbp2
Cmnd_Alias EJECT=/usr/bin/eject /usr/bin/eject /dev/sdb2
# User privilege specification
craig   ALL=(ALL) ALL
craig   ALL= NOPASSWD : IPOD, EJECT

YMMV
