Thanks, that works!

I tried now with different video and not DVB-T. With 'xine -V xv' uses 
32% CPU, versus 'xine -V xxmc' with only 8% CPU, pretty good 
improvement! (this is on the Epia CN 1.0 GHz board)

However a 'kaffeine --verbose -x xxmc' results in 'Can't init new Video 
Driver xxmc', even though the verbose output lists the same 
/usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.8/xineplug_vo_out_xxmc.so that 'xine --verbose 
-V xxmc' finds and (probably) is using. Well perhaps some Kaffeine bug, 
other forum...

Thanks for the 'xxmc' info,
cheers,
