Not really correct: I installed the rpm from xmms.org and it works perfectly with /tmp mounted with noexec option. Seems that the xmms compilation or the included xmms configuration are not the safest ones. I didn't try with mplayer, but I guess it's something similar.
I meant RHEL, not xmms. That one probably plays DVDs and mp3s too :)
If you want to fix it and maintain your own package, I'll try to help :)
OR ... make an entry in the RH bugzilla for RHEL4 and xmms
this should be done .. where exactly can I do this?
If you file a bug at http://bugs.centos.org/ .... I'll file one with RH at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ .
