x11amp on alpha fails with floating point and illegal instruction when trying to play an mp3. Recompiling doesnt help.
What type of alpha are you using?? We will try to replicate here in the lab.
So far haven't been able to reproduce it here. Can you try the xmms RPM from Raw Hide?
confirmed.
fixed in xmms-0.9.1-2, will be in next rawhide.
