I was just testing out version 0.5 on gentoo amd64, and I ran into a coule problems. I reported them upstream (see URL), but wanted to file here too as a reminder for me to look at it in the future. Firstly, video plays fine, but audio doesn't. I have etc/mplayer.conf setup to use alsa1x as the audio driver, and the plugin is configured to use 'mplayer chosen' which I assume means what is in mplayer.conf. Choosing alsa from the xmmsmplayer config menu produces the same results. Choosing the expirimental xmms output plugin support causes xmms to hang immediately when I start the video. Secondly, when I stop playing the movie, the mplayer child process still runs. I tried playing moviea, then stopped, played movieb. xmms hung when i tried to start movieb. I did a 'ps x' to see the moviea mplayer process. I killed it, and movieb started.
No repsonse from the upstream maintainer so far...
again, nothing from upstream for months
