Yes.

It was confused with lib and lib64.  I modified /etc/ld.so.conf.d and now
it does not complain any more.

Yes.  However, I found that I had one xmms package missing
(libxmms.so.1.3.1 missing).

I'll try to recompile the plugin and will report back.

Thanks for your pointers, it helped to get me out of the corner I boxed
myself into.

Cheers
Frank
