When I add URL ending in .mp3 into XMMS, XMMS hangs immediately. When I add URL ending in .ogg, it is added OK and playing works. When I add URL engin in no extension, it's not added (the URL addition window closes, but no entry appears in playlist, which is 4 entries long). Playing mp3 and ogg files from harddisk is OK. xmms output plugin is arts and xmms version is 1.2.10-r13. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Add URL http://192.168.2.217:8000/test.mp3 into XMMS 2. 3. Actual Results: XMMS hangs Expected Results: http://192.168.2.217:8000/test.mp3 appears in the list.

I have also tried reinstalling xmms to new version 1.2.10-r14 by "emerge -u xmms" which reinstalled also couple of things with it (about 6), but still the behaviour is the same.
When I add .mp3 URL now, a blank window appears and not only XMMS, but also windowmanager icewm stops responding! clicking icons at the bottom bar (xterm, browsers, switching desktops) doesn't work. But digital clock in icewm still ticks and ctrl-alt-t spawns new terminal! xmms cannot be killed by ordinary kill, kill -9 has to be used. After that, icewm operation resumes in a normal way.
I was having the exact same problem, and spent a few hours tracking it down. Here is the fix: remove MAD from your USE flags, unmerge xmms-mad, and re-emerge xmms. xmms-mad is sending a malformed GET request to the weg server, which is returning a 400 - Bad Request. removing xmms-mad allows xmms to issue the GET request itself, which is successful. There definatley seems to be a bug in xmms-mad though :)
Hmm that doesn't work. xmms emerges xmms-mad even if USE in /etc/make.conf doesn't contain mad and if emerge -C xmms-mad and emerge -C xmms was performed, emerge --update --newuse --deep world. emerge -p --newuse xmms and emerge -p xmms show xmms-mad as dependency and install it back.
Instead of "remove MAD from your USE flags" should be "remove mad from your USE flags and put -mad there.". Now xmms can be built without mad.
This should be fixed now not using mad.
