xine-lib 1.2 depends on a library that is part of FFmpeg (libavutil) for
everything, and thus it was decided to retire xine-lib in Fedora entirely.
It is now shipped only in RPM Fusion. (We decided that it was not worth
trying to split FFmpeg into pieces and package libavutil separately from
libavcodec, which definitely cannot go into Fedora.)
