Right, but xine-lib in unstable doesn't support it. It will work with
xine-lib in experimental though, but that is the xine-lib-1.2
development branch. There is still a lot of work to do there, so I'm
curious how you plan to package the vdr-plugin-xine package?

Yes, i am aware of this, the package was ready long time ago, it is
mostly based on Darren Salt's work, he provided it together with the
patched xine-lib in his private repository. Darren informed me that
the new xine-lib with the patch entered experimental, so i decided to
finally write this ITP. (In fact i did not really think that the
official xine-lib package would ever get this patch, as the
corresponding whishlist-bug (#227588) was almost 4 years old.)

The plugin was already uploaded to experimental and is now waiting in
NEW. :)


Regards,
Thomas
