Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libxine-main1

I've been having some weird problems with xine for a few years now, mainly as 
the xine backend in amarok.  Other than general stability issues, I have been 
having trouble getting xine to play some ogg files, while others play just 
fine.  I finally decided to look for some more info since the amarok package 
I'm using doesn't have any other backends available, and as a large part of 
my music collection is in ogg format.

I have a short list of what ogg vorbis versions will work in xine, and which 
wont:
1.0 RC 2 yes
1.0 yes
1.1.0 RC1 yes
1.0.1 yes

1.0 RC 1 no
1.0 beta 4 no

That is by no means a complete lists.  I am sure there were other
versions packaged for debian/ubuntu.

Reading the bug reports on the xine website it seems like this is a regression
 *original bug report (with non-working patch): 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=892508&group_id=9655&atid=109655
 *new bug report (with semi working patch): 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1465298&group_id=9655&atid=109655

Seeing as how the patch only requires changing the buffer size in one
file this would be an easy fix for the libxine-main1 maintainer in
ubuntu, until the upstream sources are patched.  The second bug was
reported 4 months ago, and the cvs version still hasn't been fixed.
