It looks like the method described in this thread is single process (the process that does the display is the same process that does the decoding). Freevo's design moves decoding into a separate process. With MPlayer this is obvious, but we do this even with libxine. Video decoding has the unhappy reality of being less than robust, and it's not a good thing for a corrupt video to crash the whole UI.
