Agree with previous comment regarding xmms-pulse. Makes things much smoother.

I just submitted the AUR package xmms-pulse. I consider this package useful for xmms users because the xmms standard output plugin "Alsa" has some major bugs on current systems that use alsa emulation provided by pipewire (or even pulseaudio). For example, when clicking the time bar to fast forward or rewind within the current track, playback sometimes freezes. At the end of a track, it freezes and does not advance to the next, requiring the user to advance manually.

Therefore, I cordially ask the current maintainer of this package (xmms) to add xmms-pulse as an (optional?) dependency.

For those of you who still use this old but golden software, you need to disable the Link Time Optimization (LTO), as xmms fails to compile with the flag -flto (present in Arch's standard CFLAGS and LDFLAGS). To do it, just add options=('!lto') to PKGBUILD.

Note: As noted by Marsa below, xmms.org is unfortunately down. I recommend replacing it with Slackware's xmms copy. (https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware-15.0/source/xap/xmms/xmms-1.2.11.tar.bz2), as the md5sum of the fossies.org copy does not match the original source.

The website is down (the account was suspended) https://fossies.org/linux/misc/old/xmms-1.2.11.tar.gz could be used instead.
