Are you sure about that? I mean, are you sure that the original problems
were with 1.2.10-16?

>From this and other messages, it sounds like you first noted the bug
*after* your system was first updated to 1.2.10-18. (Perhaps you have an
automated yum update). If that happened, you would have encountered this
known bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=175493).

An uninstall and a re-install of 1.2.10-16 would have fixed it, of
course: you'd have got the earlier version without the bug. But next
time you run yum, of course, it sees that there's a newer version of
xmms, doesn't realise that it's buggy, and offers to upgrade...

I recommend:
    * watching the bugzilla report for any solutions
    * sticking with 1.2.10-16 for the time being
    * maybe putting
exclude=xmms
      in your /etc/yum.conf file.

Hope this helps,

James.
