I get that a lot too. IME it's much worse when run on a separate PC,
it's quite reliable on my HTPC. But it's still enough of a worry that I
added a kill feature to boxstar. I think the weakness is in xinelib,
I've never found any variant or version of xine to be as reliable as,
say mplayer, and they all require kill -9 from time to time. gxine is by
far the worst. It's a shame there isn't a standard for the OSD so that
you could choose between xine, mplayer, VLC, totem etc.
