you've got to enable the other repos.  Try this from the terminal.
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.  Make it look something roughly like
this

Code:
--------------------
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted universe multiverse
  deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted universe multiverse
  deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
  deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
  deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
  deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
  deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security main restricted
  deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security main restricted
  
--------------------


instead of copying and pasting(which should be fine I think, but I
haven't seen breezy's in a while), i'd recommend just adding the words:
universe multiverse    to the end of the lines that I have in your
sources.list file.
save this file.  Then, run sudo apt-get update.  You should now be able
to install xmms.
