Perhaps somebody FWIW, I have the following package versions installed in Phoebe3 /RH 8.0.94: gstreamer-0.6.0-4.i386.rpm gstreamer-plugins-0.6.0-6.i386.rpm gstreamer-tools-0.6.0-4.i386.rpm mpeg2dec-0.3.1-fr1.i386.rpm mpg321-0.2.10-fr1.i386.rpm xml-common-0.6.3-14.noarch.rpm xmms-1.2.7-19.p.i386.rpm xmms-skins-1.2.7-19.p.i386.rpm Since installing the above mpeg and xmms packages, I now enjoy the ability to _place_ my mouse pointer on an mp3 file, and getting instant playback (without having to actually *click* on the file). This was the default invocation of mp3 sound support, previous to RH 8.0.
