Except that there was no plugin RPM. It was an integral component of the
xmms package.

So you your options are to find the two files standalone and drop them
in hoping that the ABI is the same (ie, it doesn't crash XMMS), as well
as give up RPM control of xmms.

Or you can install the xmms-mp3 RPM I created, it adds MP3 support back
to xmms-1.2.7-13.p in a clean way. I posted the link in a previous
email.
