> 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.

..

(First I changed to the English language so there's no trouble in translation then) I went to System->Preferences->Sound. In there there are 'Devices' and 'Sounds'. (I probably need to look at the 'Devices'.) In there there's 'Sound Events', 'Music and Movies', 'Audio Conferencing' and 'Default Mixer Tracks'. Then there's 'Sound Playback' in the first three, plus a 'Sound Capture' in the third one and a 'Device' in the last one. Then there's a slide panel next to them and a test button. IMPORTANT All of the 'Sound Playback's are set to 'Autodetect'. Other options include 'HDA Intel ALC888 Digital (ALSA)', 'HDA Intel ALC888 Analog (ALSA)', three 'HDA Intel ALC888 Analog (OSS)'s, 'ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture', 'OSS - Open Sound System' and 'PulseAudio Sound Server'. (I don't think I need to say what's in the 'Sound Capture'.) Then there's 'HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer)' selected in the 'Devices'. The other choice is 'Realtek ALC888 (OSS Mixer).

If you mean 'Sound Settings' there's no such place, only 'Sound Preferences'. If you mean 'Engine' tab there's no such place, only 'Devices' (and 'Sounds'). And I would probably change from Gstreamer to Xine if I found a place which included them.
