On my (probably broken) machine with Wheezy I tested both libxine from 
deb-multimedia, as well as from Wheezy. With both, I had a problem. Same 
with libxine1 and with libxine2.

In Quantal I successfully tested everything with libxine2 - amarok, 
kaffeine and KMPlayer. So nothing should prevent the use of libxine2.
