No surprise. That's just no proper way to mix up libraries.

Two options here: removepkg /var/log/packages/xine* before installing
anything new. When compiling, prefix to /usr. If you want local test
versions, prefix them to your home dir. 

Oh, one thing: under all circumstances, after running make: for both lib and
ui run ldconfig after make. Else->fit. 
But you could try, too, is get the SlackBuild scripts from the src dir from
your fav slackware mirror and replace the tarballs with later versions.

By the way, xine people: Pat still packages lib 1.0.2, which usually means he
doesnt dub 1.1.0 stable enough, and I'd second that. lib 1.1.0 behaves a lot
more flaky then 1.0.2.

TJ: could you provide a sample of that video? dd the first 5MB or so and mail
them to my address? I'd really like to have a look at that.
