[packman] libxine1/libxine1-codecs problems with conflict dialogs

1-click installation as well as manual installation of libxine1 and libxine1-
codecs on openSUSE 11.1 triggers a conflict dialog these days regarding 
architecture change from i586 -> i686, or in some cases yast/zypp seems to 
just keep the official crippled libxine1 1.1.15 without asking as a "solution" 
to the "problem".

This makes 1-click multimedia installs pretty useless/scary for n00bs and non-
techies, and even manual installation of these crucial packages is a bit 
tricky for n00bs. I consider this a serious problem. 

While the solver being too damn sensitive is prolly the core reason for this 
particular problem - I wonder if you guys could fix it somehow - for example 
by simply dropping i686 versions for the codec stuff. Is there really any good 
reason to have those at all?

Here's the list of conflicts from yast:
