I think it does help a lot but I'm not sure about which direction this 
is going in...

I've installed....   mozilla-plugin-vlc libvorbis0a libvorbisenc2 mp3c 
mp32ogg arson libmp3-info-perl libstring-shellquote-perl 
libunicode-string-perl  mpc vorbisgain id3v2 normalize vcdimager
xmms-mad

What happens now when I start XMMS is that I get the following GTK 
based error message...

" failed to open audio output Alsa 1.2.10 output plugin"

What to do next ?
