Just try installing the new packages over the top of the old ones, any dependencies should be handled.  Is it an rpm distro like Red Hat / Mandrake / Suse a deb distro like Debian / Lindows or an "other"?

i was going to install from the source, i haven;t had much luck with rpms when it comes to xmms and mplayer.  but i'll try a overwrite over the old installation.
