AFAIK this is correct. All I've tried to compile agains the new xine-
lib, dit it.

That's right, but at the moment, we do have packages delivered from 
openSUSE, we do not have ourselve in the repo using libxine1. If I would 
drop our libxine1 package, this programs wouldn't be able to play the 
formats which are only supported by the codecs subpackage.

I've switched all the frontends (xine-ui, gxine, kaffeine for kde3 and 
kde4) on packman to use the new libxine2. I also would like to add the 
new package to multimedia:xine on OBS but I haven't found the time to 
take a deeper look into the script that creates crippled tarballs. And 
I'm also not sure to find the time in the near future (not in the next 
two weeks).
