There's an aRts output plugin for XMMS which works fine. No need for a
wrapper.

On XMMS 1.2.4, I enabled "Use X font" with font
"-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-p-*-iso8859-8" and it
worked fine. No crash.

Actually, all modern TrueType fonts are Unicode. The encodings which
are available to X depend on your fonts.dir file. If you claim your
font has an "iso8859-8" encoding, the encoding will appear on the list.
If the font has Hebrew glyphs in the Hebrew Unicode range, you'd see
the characters. Otherwise, you'd see "missing character" squares.
Simply add a "iso10646-1" encoding variant to the fonts.dir file.

Run your GTK 1.2 and legacy programs with an LC_CTYPE=he_IL environment
variable and they will succesfully decode the normal keymap into 8-bit
characters. And no, Qt 2.3, Mozilla and GTK 2.0 really need proper encodings
to know what you meant.
e.g.:
LC_CTYPE=he_IL biditext xchat
