I hope I didn't come through as a d?ck.  I usually do, what 'cause of my
accent and everitin'  :-)

I'm sure people in this list (including myself) would like to help you
but my point was that compiling xine with all the modules is kind'o
tricky, many dependencies and the people with xine might be better to
help you.

By all means, let me know if I can help.  I just tried a bunch of dif.
ways of compiling and finally it worked so I stopped.  Anyway, I like
xine a lot, just whish I could use it with my pvr-350.
