Hi Dave,
Recently Yum told me the same thing about something else.  I went and found
the rpm package I needed and  manual installed it using the rpm command line
(as root) "rpm -ihv (root/yada.yada).rpm"  Installed with out a hitch.  You
could also try to run either a yum or rpm uninstall of the xmms-mp3 program
and then do a fresh install of the program.  I don't mean of the whole
operating system, just the one program.  I am sorry if I am not clear on
this.  I do suggest you check the man pages online (
http://man.linuxquestions.org/ ) or on your computer for more info on the
rpm command.  Unfortunately, man pages online has no listing for yum.  Hope
this helps.  I am new to this so I only tell what has worked for me.  Your
mileage may vary.
Best Regards,
Beej
