Contributing software to YDL

[Daniel Gimpelevich]

How about a working XMMS? The one in YDL4 segfaults on startup. It would
also be nice to yum install a 2.6.10 kernel with all the proper patches
whose .config doesn't contain DMASOUND or DMASOUND_PMAC but does contain
ALSA OSS emulation, with an /etc/modprobe.conf file to match.
