I have to correct myself. libxine apperantly was not built with xcb-
support...probably a binary pakcage slipped in during the last upgrade. 
BTW: maybe libxcb-support should be a default option for libxine, since kde 
requires it... Has anyone spoken with the maintainers?

The other issues remain. I can't play certain mp3s without being afraid of 
losing my speakers or my hearing ;) :(
