I was in the meetings of our SIG and it was decided that we ship the xine-backend by default. But i never read a single line about we *recommending* xine. It was that both had their pluses and minus and IIRC a voting made the xine the default for now. And everything looks like that the gstreamer-backend will be the default in the near future. Doesn't sound like we really recommend it. So, what i was telling was, just because it's shipped by default, doesn't mean automatically it is recommended. IMO. -- LG Thomas Dubium sapientiae initium
