That sounds like correct behaviour if you select the "disk writer" output 
plugin. Check by right-clicking on XMMS, Options -> Preferences, look on the 
Audio I/O plugins tab, check the selected output plugin is OSS or aRts or esd 
or something and not "disk writer". Or maybe you have your selected output 
plugin configured to write to disk, click configure beside the output plugin 
select box and have a look through all the options.

Hope this helps,

I've had that happen too... for some reason xmms decides that it wants to
convert mp3 to pcm and write to a wav file rather than play through the
audio device. My solution was to nuke my .xmms directory. Better solution is
not to use xmms (I generally just use mpg321).

xmms definitely isn't part of KDE though so probably another list would be
more appropriate :-)

XMMS Is Broken?

2001-09-24 Thread Robert Tilley
Whenever I double-click a song in XMMS to start play, there is no sound.
All that happens is that each song in my list in highlighted in turn for 
about 1 second, then the selection moves down.

Perhaps something has broken in the latest Debian update?  I know that 
Konqueror is now broken..
