Did you have to do anything special to xine's config to get this to work 
reliably? I used to do it exactly this way but I sometimes got bogus 
errors about not having an input plugin to handle the mrl. Perhaps it 
was just something else flaky with my setup.

Note that you must use an absolute path to the iso for this to work.
