The problem with that one is that it currently requires a patched libxine1,
although the patches are being integrated into xine-lib; probably 1-rc7 will
contain them as standard. (The patches supplied with vdr-xine 0.5.0 suggest
that part of the integration has been done in 1-rc6.)

I'm reasonably sure that this integration won't be done in time to make it
into sarge...
