Tell me how/Show me how to do that.  When I try to build xine-lib or lib-xine it fails to compile and I just give up.  I would like to have xine, mplayer and vlc all working, but only mplayer does the job so far and I also have the gecko- plugin for gnome-mplayer that Kevin Dekorte works on.  And I am very happy to use them.  

I would not mind if you told me how to build the gst* stuff to make totem play DVDs.  In fact I would appreciate it.  This way I won't have to mess around with xine-lib and xine-ui.
