It is definitely not required. You need one emotion engine; gstreamer is the
default, Xine is available in the EFL tree, and VLC is available in
emotion_generic_players. As long as you have one of the other two, the VLC
engine won't even be used unless the program specifically asks for it and
Terminology is the only program I know that has that option right now.
