Okay, i got myself the latest xmms cvs sources and compiled them.
Playing around with the oggs identified as crashing xmms showed me that about 
75% of them now worked fine, but a few still could crash xmms.

So i went and got the current oggvorbis cvs and compiled it, recompiled xmms 
and viola, no problems (so far).
