Faith of xfmedia.

[Kok, Auke]

did you mean "fate" instead of "faith" ?

works great here...

maybe nvidia driver issue?

well, xfmedia is pretty mature, so not much development is actually needed 
except bugfixes. You should ask yourself why it broke for you and not for other 
people first. Perhaps this is a xine+amd64+nvidia issue...

that really does not suggest that xfmedia is bugged, but rather xine or the 
video driver (at first glance)
