Had the same problem. The fix is easy:
Just recompile XMMS to link to the new vorbis 1.0 libraries installed in 
/usr/local, and it will work like a charm. I think some vorbis library 
versions changed from rc3->1.0, so I'ts creating some problems. The 
Vorbis plugin is included in the XMMS source from v1.2.4 and up.
