Yup, that will solve the problem.  Unfortunatly I can't just post that 
package and solve it for everyone.  I'm inside the US and bound by the 
same insane software patents as RH suffers under.

I was building up a version of xmms with mp3 support for internal use here
on the library's patron lab and had libmad, id3tag, etc installed on my
buildhost.  Aparently if mp3 support is available arts links to it for
some reason.  Grr.  Looks like the only longterm answer is going to be to
remove those packages and rebuild a .WB1 package to force it to be
'newer'.
