> I have removed pulseaudio and i do have the libxine-ffmpeg. The only thing I couldn't change was the Xine as my Phonon backend. I went to the System Settings, couldn't find multimedia (I have the finnish version of ubuntu), but I went to Sound and there was all those 'music and video' and 'sound conferences' or something like that and a slide panel next to them which listed things like Alsa, HDA Intel and ofcourse the Pulseaudio. There was no Xine in the list and it was set to 'automatic detection'.

Still in your sound settings, there should be an engine tab on top
where you can see the engine in use: choose Xine instead of Gstreamer.
