Re the audio issue, I've had a problem with both packman and vlc versions not being able to grab the audio device after a xine application has run. I can't find a process holding the device. I suppose it's possible this is because I'm using the xine phonon backend (I just can't gstreamer working). In any event, there is a conflict somewhere regardless of vlc version.
Hah, that one's easy: use neither :P $ grep -i alsa ~/.xine/config ~/.mplayer/config ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc /home/dh/.xine/config:audio.driver:alsa /home/dh/.mplayer/config:ao=alsa /home/dh/.config/vlc/vlcrc:aout=alsa With that, I can play the very same file in all three players at the same time; depending on offset, it's a cacophony, but it's very clear that each player's sound is output and mixed correctly by alsa. The only thing that I occasionally miss (to some extent) and what I'm told pulseaudio can do is a "per app volume setting". Apart from that: I don't need no gstreamer,phonon,pulseaudio or whatever. Plain ALSA suffices. Oh, and BTW: I use the "GKrellM Volume Plugin 2.1.x" as a "mixer". Just what I need in a configurable part of screen estate, in my case it's about 100x50px...
Oh, btw, that should be libdvdcss, not libcss.
Whatever. That lib, ya know, *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge* ;) Just as you purportedly need that other lib to play those other flat round thingies read with a bluish laser... I have neither player for those nor any of those non-floppies.
