Hello,

since the split-up of the `libxine1' package the short descriptions of
the fragmented packages are misleading. Now all of them are `the xine
video/media player library, binary files' without further explanation.

Secondly, in the new package's description there is a dot `.' visible
where it should most propably show an empty line.

Thirdly, the selection of plugins which make it into `libxine1' and
`libxine1-ffmpeg' seems quite random:
In `libxine1-ffmpeg' there is the `xineplug_decode_mad.so' plugin which
obviously has nothing to do with ffmpeg itself. The same applies to the
a52 and dts plugins. Now, one might think that this package is for input
plugins in general, maybe even for decoding of "patented" formats (i.e.
mp3). But then there are even more input plugins in `libxine1', like
those for vorbis. And, more puzzling, there are even the plugins for
decoding of real-audio etc.

Maybe I get something wrong, but could you please clean up the packages'
descriptions to explain more precisely what kind of codecs they contain
and why they do?

Thank you very much!

Nice greetings,
Fabian
