As far as I know, livna and freshrpms are not compatible. Perhaps
that's why you are getting this problem?

aalib-1.4.0-5.fc6.rf (which is newer than aalib-1.4.0-0.11.rc5.fc6) is
already installed" I get the impression that the newer aalib was
probably installed from freshrpms (hence it ends with rf) as part of
installing xine. And that is conflicting with the older aalib from
livna.

I'd try removing xine (yum remove xine), disabling/ removing the
freshrpms repo, and then installing xine and vlc from livna.

Could you try and see if that helps?
