For a while now, the default way that yum works is that if you don't
specify an arch on a multi-arch system, all available arches are
installed. So if you simply did 'yum install xmms' it will install
xmms.i386 and xmms.x86_64 as well as the depchain for both. If you
wished to only have the 64bit version, yum install xmms.x86_64. It
pays to pay attention to the yum output and make sure it is doing what
you want. -y leads to discoveries later of 'how the heck did that
happen?'.

This is a well known bug that has since been fixed. See
