Then please show the complete Yum output of your xine installation
attempt. Preferably do it after making sure that you've got the latest yum
for F8 (yum -y update yum). Plus, post the output of: rpm -qa xine\*

xine-lib-1.1.12-2.fc8 is latest for both x86_64 and i386. It doesn't
become clear at all why an older xine-lib-1.1.8-4.fc8 at your end is
simply not updated. Unless e.g. your Yum somehow wants to update only one
of two installed xine-lib packages.

The crystal ball here is failing to see what "lib conflicts" you refer to.
You've managed to post a long story, but without the important details.

There's a different between F9 x86_64 and F8 x86_64 with regard to
whether x86 packages are installed by default. F9 no longer installs
both unless something is required or asked for. Many x86_64 users
with F8 or older modify their yum.conf to exclude i?86 packages, too.
