Here are the commands I'm using for xine start. Nether xine or vdpau are all that stable for me though:
xine -A alsa
-V vdpau
--post vdr_video --post vdr_audio
vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes
--fullscreen
--no-gui
--no-mouse
--deinterlace
--no-logo --no-splash
And xine config:

> The skips occur at the same time as VDR console messages "buffering xx

> fluxbox and X window manager
> latest standard v4l-dvb drivers
> plugins: vdr-xine-0.8.0, iptv, epgsearch, skinenigmang, femon, radio,
> recstatus, pvrinput.
> xine started with :

> vdr-1.7.9 with the standard latest v4l-dvb drivers
> vdr-xine various versions from 0.8.1 right up to 0.9.3
> xine-lib-1.2 with VDPAU and with XV output started by either:

> vdpau -Dtvtime:method=Greedy2Frame,cheap_mode=0,pulldown=0,use_progressive_frame_flag=1

> --post vdr_video --post vdr_audio vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes
