Yes, more simple and more often syncing libxine with ffmpeg should be
good!

Interesting would be also adding configure option
'--with-external-ffmpeg'. Testing, if is ffmpeg prepared for going into
xine could be easer. :-)
Also I'm interested if there would be some problem with it. Now I'm
fighting with win32 build - xine compiled by MSVC and CVS version ffmpeg
compiled by MINGW. It seems it works, but I must disabled flushing in
ffmpeg.

>From my "end-user view" should be nice compare speed of patched ffmpeg
with the not-patched. And then synchronize ffmpeg and libxine according
to the results.
