Hi Ian, thanks for the info.

Yes, i had end up with that situation, but i believe glib2 was also needed for
other ports (gtk2, i think). This was causing some conflicts, as said before...
so decided to upgrade everything to glib2, which worked fine for all ports
other than xmms. 

As suggested by another poster, I'm trying other players :) (I realised i had
mplayer , xfce4media and xmms installed... mplayer works just fine with glib2,
so using it instead for now). 

Thanks for the help ,
Beto
