I was experiencing a similar problem, some ogg files were not playing with xmms... xmms would not recognize the bitrate, try for a few seconds, then move onto the next ogg file.
I found that if I changed the MPEG Layer 1/2/3 plugin settings (libmpg123.so) on Options to Extension (previously set to Extensino and content), it worked better. I imagine that the mpg plugin is incorrectly detecting some ogg files as mp3 and choking on that. donfede -- Federico Grau Free Software Developer and Sysadmin Radio Free Asia 2025 M Street, NW Suite 300 Washington, DC 20036 202-587-2046 Telephone 202-721-7468 Facsimile CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION This e-mail message is intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
