xmms2: ERROR: Couldn't start playback: Could not start playback

Hi there,

I am having a problem with one of my favourite music players and that on several arch machines. It does kind of work only coincidentally. That means: usually I get the above mentioned error message, sometimes - out of the blue - it does play music. This behaviour is independent from the output.plugin i am using, either alsa or jack. The funny thing is, if I use OSS there is quite a few clicking from the loudspeakers but then it does work. If I change back there is some clicking again for some seconds and then ... same procedure as with (almost) every attempt to use this little beast. ;-/

Does anyone else have this problem or can give me any hints what I could do to get the baby up and running? On an archbox that had been not as up to date as the other two boxes xmms2 did work. Maybe I should file a bug?

All the best,
