well you are using a cooker rpm so it is not uncommon to meet those kind of dependency
checks. if you are really sure you want to install that ( like if you think the other
apps would not mind seeing a newer version, or you would like to see what would happen
*evil grin*) _experimental_ package then you could do
rpm -Fv xmms-1.2.6-1.i386.rpm --nodeps
which means there will be no dependency checks when upgrading or installing a package.
this is where the fun begins as you will see if everything will run fine or you will
have to re-install the old package. i think the command will be something like (im
expecting the more experienced users out there will correct me on this one as i dont
use it often enough and basing this on the manpage)
rpm -Fv [old but working xmms package] [--force | --allfiles ]
ciao!
