Have you tried to compile it with debug? (make debug).
What does it say in the terminal? (I assume you can get the file with
wget)

Or:
1. Disable the mpg123 plugin! I rarely have the need to play mp3
   anymore :)
2. Get xmms from cvs. Edit xmms/Input/mpg123/mpg123.c. Add '.spx' to the
   exclude list at around line 395-400. Recompile the MPEG plugin.
