Summary: Threading deadlock while watching DVB-T

Initial Comment:
While watching DVB-T (and possibly other DVB material), xine  
enters deadlock after an unspecified time. Any attempt to list  
the running processes fails to complete and the only way out  
is to drop to the lowest runlevel and cold reboot. I can't  
debug this either as I can't get any information from the  
processes once they've deadlocked. Catch 22.

This is most likely related to bug #1090330. 
If you are even unable to "killall -9 xine", xine is being locked 
inside the kernel. Any user-level deadlock (and these are the 
only ones xine itself can be causing) cannot prevent you from 
SIGKILLing the process.
