xfmedia and dvb

Understood. Xfmedia is mainly for audio. I guess I thought that, because 
libxine supports DVB, there might be some special implementation of it 
in Xfmedia. But if that's not the direction you want to take it, then I 
guess that's just how it goes.

If I could, I'd send you a dvb patch, but, like you, I don't know much 
about how it works either :).

But thanks anyway! :)
