[sf-lug] Segfaulting

When I run xmms, mplayer, or amarok they will all segfault right way.
Re-installed all the packages and still the same result. First I though
I may have something to do w/ alsa but I can still get sound though the
flash plugin in firefox and mpg123 works fine. For fun I installed a
newer kernel and re-installed alsa, neither worked.

Never really used gdb for anything so I guessed now would be a good time
to start, ran it and got this:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/xmms
Failed to read a valid object file image from memory.

Since I'm not much of a coder and this will be the 3rd time I've ever
used gdb. I cant really tell what is going on. Ran it for mplayer also
but it's got even less info. Anyone have clues about what is going on?
mpg123 is no civilized way to listen to music ;)
