But, if esound exists then it will be enable by default. If esound doesn't  
exist and you want to enable it, you can either use WITH_GNOME=yes or  
WITH_GNOME=esound (both will working).

I don't use xmms, but yeah you should reinstall it if it doesn't build  
with esound. If it still doesn't work, then you should talk with the
