Fixed -- stupid error but without consequences.

No idea what it is.

gtkpod simply calls xmms (or any other program you set in Prefs->Tools --
try '/bin/echo %s') with the filenames of the tracks selected. You could try
calling xmms manually with the corresponding arguments (start gtkpod from an
xterm and replace 'xmms %s' by '/bin/echo %s' to get the arguments output to
xterm). If xmms segfaults then as well you can safely report the bug to xmms.
