I didn't say I use it specially within KDE, and since I also installed mplayer 
it plays my divx without win or wine...

I don' tlike the GUI, I don't like the supported file-formats, which are far 
to less on my system. And the troubles the xine-arts-people had with the 
releases and cvs isn't conviencing me for xine...

Nevertheless, I don't understand, why we should switch Multimedia to the 
xine-lib? We have a lib, its called aRts! Why don't the xine developer 
implement an arts-output-plugin?

The aRts-virus has me,

Arnold
