Sorry, I was running out of time and didn't check the "to" field, and
well, I'm also a newbie to mailing lists...

The point is that I remembered that I also had this same problem in
rhythmbox with Arch Linux, and I think that xmms also did something
like stopping after ending one song but whit out telling anything. So
it must be something related to the sound car driver.

By the way, I never had this problem using juk, so I didn't bother to solve it

Rafa.
