I assume you have tried under another WM such as good old TWM? Same result? What about on the console (no X)? Are you playing video files or audio (probably video)? The "[ws] Shared Memory Extensions Error" sounds pretty application-specific to me. It's possible the xfce people should have referred you to mplayer as well as FBSD. I'm guessing somewhere between mplayer and X11 and FreeBSD. What about recompiling whilst passing --disable-shm to configure? Also, I assume you're on X.org, correct? Grasping at straws, KDK -- Insomnia isn't anything to lose sleep over.
