Well, AFAIK NVidia cards doesn't have vidix support, and yes, fb is slow
(but better than nothing). Otherwise, how do I override the default freevo
behavior to use xine? Removing the xine and fbxine lines from freevo.conf
doesn't change its behavior.

Also, XINE_VO_DEV is redefined in freevo_config.py, so setting it in
local_conf.py doesn't do anything useful.

The other thing is that currently, TV viewing and playback of recorded
movies uses mplayer, and playback of dvd uses xine. Shouldn't this be
consistent (either use mplayer exclusively, else xine + ???)?
