Unforunately, sinek can't be recompiled against libxine1, so simply rebuilding it is not an option (trust me, if it was, I would've done it already). Porting to the xine-1.0 api has taken some considerable redesign work upstream, which ended up w/ me rewriting a large portion of sinek. sinek-0.8 will allow us to build against libxine1, but that isn't in a releasable state atm.
