I think you need a xmms plugin to do anything other than the basics (wav, mpg,
etc...). Debian had a couple of plugins, mostly visulisation I think. Don't
know where you can get others from, but you select them through
Options->Preferences. Try http://www.xmms.org/ as I'm sure they will have loads
of links.
