That's another side to the question - where is the source for the pluggin? I
can get the source for Ogg Vorbis (the encoded files sound great btw) but I only

Yeah, building XMMS appears to be the only option left. Kinda defeats the
purpose of pluggins but such is life.
I've not built Debian packages before but I have built from source via apt. I
