Sumit.. after that. it is clear that it is not the driver problem.. it is simply software prob.. as Redhat has removed the mp3 support from XMMS in RH9 then i u should have tried to intall that in ur machine and that has messed up all. Try to install mplayer and then play from that.. then tell us.. Also remove xmms rpm and install latest from internet.. may be that help..
