Ben, I understand that you don't agree with the bug being grave. The point is that I use it mainly for watching TV. This is practically not possible anymore now since the VDR playback breaks on every channel switch due to xdg-screensaver hogging the audio handle. For that usage it is definately a grave bug because it rendered my main application useless. I know this may not affect all users, but I also find it a bit harsh to say a bug is clearly not grave just because one is mainly using a xine plugin that has been effectively broken now.
Just as a remark regarding your intended fix: I haven't yet seen the place where xine does a wait() or waitpid() for those forked childs to clean up the zombies. If there is a place, ok, I just havn't seen it yet. If I startup the XVDR plugin, I see three pid's of xdg-screensaver. Upon each TV channel switch, there's one more. They also don't seem to terminate, so the list is growing. Aren't they supposed to just signal a "suspend" and then terminate themselves?
