This thumbnailer (as all the Nautilus thumbnailers) actually only
process one file at a time. So the xine engine is reinitialised every
time. And you can feel the speed of xine :/
( Fortunately, it doesn't launch all the thumbnailers at once)

The problem with the xine engine in this case is that there is no
reliable way to know when the demuxer have actually sprung into life. So
I don't know if my xine_get_stream_info() and xine_get_current_frame()
calls fail because the demuxers/decoders aren't ready yet, or if the
calls genuinely fail.

If anyone could shed some light on these bits of the engine, I'd be
grateful.

Cheers
