Since xmms is dependent on “libmikmod” its better to
install xmms through yum which will install dependent
modules too
1) So first thing to do is to install the xmms using
“yum”
# yum -y install xmms
it will install xmms and dependent module “libmikmod”
too.
2) Now download the mp3, wma plugins (rpms from
freshrpms) and xmms skins(rpms from freshrpms) and
install them
e.g.
# rpm -ivh xmms-mp3.........

I am using mplayer for playing movies (mpg, wma etc.)
and quite satisfied with it. before installing
mplayer, look for these packages from freshrpms
(http://stentz.freshrpms.net/) 
[note: all these packages are required plus more for
mplayer to work]

aalib-1.4-2.rc5.rhfc4.at.i386.rpm
lame-3.96.1-2.2.fc4.i386.rpm
libdvdcss-1.2.9-1.2.fc4.i386.rpm
libdvdread-0.9.4-7.2.fc4.i386.rpm
libmad-0.15.1b-3.2.fc4.i386.rpm
libpostproc-1.0-0.16.pre7.2.fc4.i386.rpm
libXvMCW-0.9.3-1.2.fc4.i386.rpm
mplayer-1.0-0.16.pre7.2.fc4.i386.rpm
mplayer-docs-1.0-0.17.pre7.2.fc4.x86_64.rpm
mplayer-fonts-1.1-3.fc.noarch.rpm
mplayer-skins-1.7-1.fc.noarch.rpm
xvidcore-1.0.3-1.2.fc4.i386.rpm

additional three libraries were still not there i
freshrpms when I installed my mplayer in my FC4 so I
installed through yum

# yum -y install fribidi (for libfribidi)
# yum -y install lzo (for liblzo)
# yum -y install lirc (for liblirc)
