[Xcb] xcb plugins for xine

[Ian Osgood]

We got Keith to *start* fixing it the other day. I don't see that a fix has been 
committed yet. I think he was too distracted by the rest of the rocket meeting to 
finish the work.

Darn it, what good is a rocket meeting if you can't get any decent X hacking done?!
