Audio in Core 6

[S. Feldman]

Hello,

I'm still a bit new to Linux and FC6; trying to tweak up my install (HP  
Pavilion laptop) and have been having trouble with xmms.  I had it  
running, but for some reason tried to upgrade it (via the GUI package  
upgrader, I think) and lost MP3 capability.  I managed to bring it back  
(older version?) with yum, and then yum'ed xmms-mp3.  Now xmms accepts the  
request to play the MP3, but it runs through a 20 minute program in about  
20 seconds w/o emitting any sounds at all!  What did I do wrong?

Separately, I tried to install audacious, and it too has a separate plugin  
pack for MP3, but when I try to install (manually) the pack, it gives me  
errors saying "Have you installed audacious yet?".  What do I gotta do to  
get MP3 capabilities on Linux?  (I've got mpg123 running, but...)

TIA,

Steve
