It depends on how one looks at this flexibility. If options are limited
in running Freevo only in a X11 setup, then no thanks, that's not
flexible. Freevo can also be used on DirectFB (i.e. on a dedicated HTPC
in the living room, on which using X11 wouldn't necessarily bring any
benefit due to the available hardware), but then there is no gxine, but
fbxine, or df_xine. Then, again, wonderful features regarding
post-processing plugins available in xine-lib are crippled because their
usage is not equally supported in all frontends, because they have to
re-implement event handling on their own. This is sad...
