Upgrading would be better.

but i have lots of question

All of which have already been asked, all you need to do is start searching.

1) i can listen to cd music
i open kde-multimedia-xmms
i open a .mp3

The answer is right in front of you. What happened when you configured your sound card? DO you have the output as well as the type of soundcard you may have ?

2) slapt-get doesn not find anything
i dont know wich repositories to write

There is a lot of info on this, you need to edit your sources list first of all. Look in the bugs section of BT3 for more info.

3)lzm2dir
when i write in the shell:
lzm2dir realplayer-10-0-8-805.lzm /root/real
or
lzm2dir realplayer-10-0-8-805.lzm real
or
lzm2dir realplayer-10-0-8-805.lzm
shows me this error:

Convert .lzm compressed module back into directory tree

Your answer is right there in the "usage" section.
But seriously upgrade to the latest version.

No one mentioned the kernel. Upgrade to BT4 Prefinal.
