All? Why would you not use wildcards then?

Your selection of packages is an incomplete and wild mix of XMMS (ancient
and unmaintained and suffering from several outdated plugins) and XMMS2.
It is doubtful that you want/need some of the packages you've specified.

I'd rather evaluate some of the more modern and actively maintained music
players. Some of them have been forked off XMMS/BMP, and some still look
similar when using WinAmp skins. Audacious or QMMP.

libsidplay2 from RPM Fusion has been replaced with libsidplayfp
in Fedora 19, and indeed at RPM Fusion, 19 is the last dist that offers
the old and discontinued sidplay-libs package that would be needed here.
The libs are not compatible, so xmms2-sid will need to be ported.
Perhaps there has been a ticket about that without no response.

More likely the packaged have not been touched since F19, and usually,
the repos are not emptied ("populated from scratch") prior to a new
release of a dist.
