it seems there has been a change in the format of the /proc/cpuinfo file: infact 'flags: ' became 'features: '

This change broke xmms and could broke any other program which relies on /proc/cpuinfo... 

I hope the problem will be solved (in the kernel or in every other program which uses /proc/cpuinfo) soon...

Bye

It's working fine here w/o modification. Maybe you need the latest
version or have somethinn enabled that I don't.

My guess is that it's a plugin, the source for xmms doesn't have "cpuinfo" anywhere in it.

Are you using the 3Dnow input MP3 decoder plugin? This certainly attempts to
identify the CPU, so it can determine which decoder to use.

Just a data point

I'm listening to mp3s now via xmms, running 2.4.0-test11-pre7

# uname -r -s
Linux 2.4.0-test11-pre7
# rpm -q xmms
xmms-1.2.3-0_helix_1

the "flags/features" switch doesn't seem to hurt it:

# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0

cpu family      : 5
