what gcc version? which compiler optimisations?
could you post a strace of it ? if you start xmms from a terminal as a non-root user does it show anything helpful ?
(modig@lucidia:~)$ xmms Segmentation fault You've probably found a bug in XMMS, please visit http://bugs.xmms.org and fill out a bug report.

so do this ... `strace -f -s 4096 xmms >& stracelog` then post that stracelog file as an attachment to this bug report
Created attachment 4391 [details] strace -f -s 4096 xmms >& stracelog
Added the stracelog you requested
what is your USE variable ?
USE="X gtk gtk2 gnome alsa mmx 3dnow cdr perl pythong opengl sdl dga xv -kde -qt -qtmt -arts bonobo evo gtkhtml gif jpeg png tiff gd mpeg avi quicktime oggvorbis oss readline svga nas dvd xmms flash encode ggz ipv6 mozilla mozaccess-builtin -mozirc -mozxmlterm spell truetype xml xml2 pdflib plotutils tetex ruby samba mysql -postgres -oci8 -obdc -innodb -gdbm samba gpm"
try emerging w/out cflags `env CFLAGS= CXXFLAGS= emerge xmms` if it still segfaults, try w/out USE variable `env USE= emerge xmms` if either of these works report which one ;)
Created attachment 4396 [details] strace -f -s 4096 xmms >& stracelog (again) this is after 'env USE= CFLAGS= CXXFLAGS= emerge xmms'
I tried these: ---- emerge unmerge xmms env USE= emerge xmms ---- emerge unmerge xmms env CFLAGS= CXXFLAGS= emerge xmms ---- emerge unmerge xmms env USE= CFLAGS= CXXFLAGS= emerge xmms ---- Same behavior as far as I can tell, I included a new strace incase that shows anything new.
do you have some freaky USB device attached ?
I have a USB mouse, it doesn't scare me. But XMMS may be light of heart. Here's all the info I know how to get on it: I think these modules are involved: hid 12168 0 (unused) mousedev 3960 1 usbmouse 1880 0 (unused) input 3328 0 [hid mousedev usbmouse] from /proc/ioports 1460-147f : VIA Technologies, Inc. UHCI USB 1460-147f : usb-uhci 1480-149f : VIA Technologies, Inc. UHCI USB (#2) 1480-149f : usb-uhci its on /dev/input/mouse0
so what if you unplug the mouse and then remove the modules, then start up xmms ?
I removed hid and usbmouse and unplugged the mouse and xmms still didnt work. If you want I can figure out how to get mousedev and input removed and try again with those gone. Or would an strace in any other these situations be useful?

Håvard wrote this on the reported xmms bug http://bugs.xmms.org/show_bug.cgi?id=851 *snip* This might be caused by the crystality plugin that will segfault xmms on start if there is no config file (bug 922), this will usually make gtk+ output an assertion failure though (this might be configured away when you compile gtk+ so that might still be the issue). Another guess would be the alsa plugin. I would try to delete these two plugins and see if that helps. If that doesn't help, a gdb backtrace might give us a better idea about what is up. *snip*
