I think this is vital for making 1.4 usable for different users,
especially now that we have tvtime, mplayer (and xine?) which can
be disabled/enabled arbitrarily. I've seen some tvtime channel tuning
issues reported recently in the freevo-users list.

I'm not familiar with xine, does it currently support TV viewing, and
would it be able to do music audio playback (to replace mplayer)?

It'll help eliminate the need for multiple installed media players. So by
default, we would either have mplayer or xine for all playback functions 
instead of the mix-n-match currently. (There isn't a configuration
flag to select one or the other yet, other than by manually playing with
the plugin list).
