This makes me sad:

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "xmms" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- media-sound/xmms-1.2.10-r16 (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword)
# Diego Pettenó <flameeyes@gentoo.org> (23 Oct 2006)
# Pending removal 23 November for multiple bugs
# Use anything but this, like media-sound/audacious
# media-sound/amarok media-sound/mpd media-sound/rythmbox
# media-sound/muine media-sound/banshee

See bug thread, too.

Just for fun, I ran his first suggestion through valgrind:

==27656== ERROR SUMMARY: 27 errors from 4 contexts (suppressed: 72 from 1)
==27656== malloc/free: in use at exit: 2,947,026 bytes in 29,456 blocks.
==27656== malloc/free: 547,958 allocs, 518,502 frees, 170,510,497 bytes allocated.

Keep in mind, I only kept it open log enough to play 15 seconds of an MP3 that was already queued in my playlist.  Oh yeah, it also causes X to chew up 22% of my Athlon64 3200+.
