That's easy:

(this is example, has no reflection to current state ...)

EPEL  provides xmms-1.2.10-1.i586.rpm    - but without MP3, WMA, AAC ...
DAG   provides xmms-1.2.9-1.rf.i586.rpm  - with all those beasts
ATRPM provides xmms-1.2.10-1.at.i586.rpm - with all those beasts

Which you installs? Who knows, probably EPEL ...

Solution?
