Check user has proper permissions on /dev/dvd and/or /dev/rdvd (or
whatever is specified for input.dvd_device and input.dvd_raw_device in
~/.xine/config).  Perhaps similar for audio.mixer_name, input.vcd_device,
and maybe input.cda_device (although I'm curious why this defaults to
/dev/cdaudio rather than /dev/cdrom).

Maybe check for the existence of ~/.xinerc and issue a warning that
the xine config file is now ~/.xine/config.
