Description ivo welch 2005-03-05 06:13:52 UTC

I reverted back to xmms-1.2.10-r5, which works.  either starting xmms with an .mp3 file, such as 
   $ xmms file.mp3
or trying to load file.mp3 after xmms has started fails.  nothing ever enters the playback window.

You will need to set the MP3 USE-flag if you want MP3 support in XMMS. Please see the information emitted by the ebuild, copied below for your convenience;

"media-sound/xmms now just provides the xmms binary and libxmms."
"All plugins that were packaged with xmms are now provided by other"
"packages in media-plugins.  Some of these are automatically pulled in"
"based on USE flags.  Others you will need to emerge manually.  The"
"following is a list of packages which were previously provided by"
"media-sound/xmms that are not automatically emerged:" (list snipped)

The mp3 USE-flag is being made default in all profiles, and will reach you on the next sync. This is not a bug, you have not asked for MP3 support and thus are not recieving it.
