Re: xmms doesn't work anymore...

You probably did a pacman -Syu yesterday - which updated flac.  The new flac-1.1.2-1 is bad.  It breaks xmms and several other pkgs.

Downgrade your flac to flac-1.1.2 and everything will work again.

You can prevent flac from upgrading again the next time you do a pacman -Syu by adding the following line to your /etc/pacman.conf file:

IgnorePkg = flac

*EDIT*
Flac 1.1.2-2 has been rebuilt with the patch mentioned below and released.

This bug report includes a patch so that you can patch flac yourself and rebuild it using abs.  Then everything should be peachy.
