Beep-Media-Player uses almost no system resources at all.
Mplayer uses a bit more, but not much.
It _appears_ as if xfmedia loads all the xine libs before they are needed,
which leads to a large memory footprint.  Could be a modularization 
problem ...
but since I haven't seen the code, I don't know.

Just a thought,
