As far as I know, Xine and MPlayer have a different approach to embedding 
them.

MPlayer is a separate process where you embed the output window and it is 
controlled through a string-based protocol (slave mode).

Xine consists of xine-lib and a GUI-only process using xine-lib. So the way to 
embed Xine would be to write an application that links to xine-lib. For 
example Kaffeine works that way. Kaffeine works even if you don't have the 
default Xine GUI installed, only xine-lib.
