xmms will only play 1 mp3 and then stop

[Ray Seals]

xmms will only play one MP3 and then will not play another one.  The new
song will display the title but won't play.  If I click the play button
it just blinks the display and show 00:00.  This is the case with
selected mp3's from a directory or a play list.  The only way to play
another mp3 is to exit out of X and restart X.

I believe this may be a problem with KDE but don't know what additional
information one would need to start diagnosing the problem.
