xmms: couldn't open audio - hvad er galt?

Hejsa.
har fået mplayer til at virke med alle codecs, og kan herfra spille mp3 mv.

prøvede at installere xmms for at få en decideret mp3 afspiller når jeg prøver at spille en mp3 får jeg flg på skærmen:

Couldn't open audio:
please check that:

- your soundcard is configured properly
- you have the correct output plugin selected
- no other program is blocking the soundcard

i bash i baggrunden kommer flg frem:

[root@localhost ~]# xmms

... er lidt i tvivl om hvad jeg har gjort galt.

ps. jeg fulgte installationsvejledningen her:

brugte fc3 rpms som foreskrevet.
