Did you build Xine from source? Apparently you have libfame 0.9, which
Xine does _not_ support. Definitely explains the output you describe.
Though I wouldn't use libfame anyway, its output quality is pretty weak.
librte is much better, but you need an 0.4.x version of librte installed
when you build xine-lib for it to work.

There's the version. As I said, libfame 0.8.x and/or librte 0.4.x,
though librte's quality will be markedly better. I think someone's
working on supporting librte 0.5 with an upcoming xine-lib, but I don't
know where they're at with that.
