As it turns out xmms is only in Debian `unstable'.  You can
either remove xmms or add the Debian unstable packages to your
apt sources file.  Debian unstable is frozen right now so it
tends to be pretty usable.  If you want to use it then add
another copy of the lines I recommended above to the apt sources
file, replacing `stable' by `unstable', so that you get something
like this in the end:

deb ftp://debian.egr.msu.edu/debian stable main contrib
deb ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US
deb ftp://debian.egr.msu.edu/debian unstable main contrib
deb ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable non-US
