xine-lib does not support this at present.
It as probably a much needed feature, because I hear that some people 
want to port xmms skins to xine, and those skins have visulisations in 
the gui window as well as possible a video output window, so having 
xine-lib fill the visulisation in the gui window by just making it a 
second video output window seems sensible.
I don't know of anyone actually planning to implement multiple video 
windows yet.
