Yeah, I work with Lennart quite a bit on PA (see sig ;))

His patches definitely helped a lot but I still had some quite nasty 
issues (pre-GF it has to be said) with phonon + xine... It was all 
mostly timing related. Xine itself seemed to work OK, although did have 
a weird issue whereby it always revert to 0% volume. I didn't really 
have time to look too deeply into the code (hence why i'm not really 
moaning about it, with gusto!!) as we had a management decision to use 
GStreamer in Mdv so I just had to concentrate on making that not-suck 
for the most part...

I do need to look into the xine stuff again tho' as things have 
obviously moved on since then... it's just a matter of finding the time! :)
