This is indeed the case. The only xcb-capable plugins in xine-lib are xv and 
xshm at the moment.
Adding support for non-xcb plugins (at kaffeine) would cause various issues to 
reappear so I try to avoid that. Porting the opengl plugin to xcb is an evil 
thing (mainly because of mesa). Hmm - but I'll do more investigations about 
this issue later ... :)
