I log into ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.3-
RELEASE/packages/audio/ and do an 'ls -l xmms*, this is what itreveals:

xmms-crossfade-0.2.6.tgz
xmms-esound-1.2.4_1.tgz
xmms-liveice-1.0.0.tgz
xmms-quix3dn-4.4.1.tgz
xmms-shn-2.1.tgz
xmms-tfmx-0.3.tgz

Noting that all of these are just plugins for xmms, I found that xmms 
is NOT in the pre-compiled packages for FreeBSD; or at least not where 
I can find it.
   So instead I opt to download the entire ports collection so-as to 
compile and install xmms... three of the dependancies' distfiles 
produce bad checksums, even when pulled down from different mirror 
sites, the final result: no xmms.
   I'm trying to compile xmms right now, from the source as downloaded 
from www.xmms.org, and compile all of it's dependancies manually. I 
just wondered though why this app wasn't in the packages, or if maybe I 
just overlooked it? If anyone knows of the whereabout of the xmms 
package please let me know... compiling a new is becoming a tedious 
pain in the butt. By package I mean that which will install using 
pkg_add, not that of the ports collection which requires a build.
