That's the XMMS ALSA output driver complaining that ALSA isn't available. It could have handled that error condition more gracefully... the other output plugins don't bomb out like that. Remove the alsa-xmms package and it should work properly again. CC: to FreshRPMS mailing list, maybe someone can fix this plugin so this wont happen.
