Yes, activate_loopback was the magic I missed :-) Thank you. In case
anybody is interested here is modules.conf that does most of the above
automatically, esp. loading of microcode (I understand I need autocal
just once):

post-install em8300 /usr/bin/em8300init
probeall /dev/em8300 adv717x  em8300
alias /dev/em8300* /dev/em8300
options em8300 activate_loopback=1

this is for H+ for dxr3 just replace advX with btX.

I got it to work, my video card is an old AGP ATI Expert@Work in
1152x864 16bits, the sound was not working at all.
It took me a couple of hours to get it working fine, because I had to
reload the microcode a lot of time (before running xine, sometimes
after, don't know why?).
Have a look at the FAQ/HOWTO on dxr3.sourceforge.net, and if you follow 
carefully all the directives you'll have it to work (if your system
supports it).
Here is what I had to do:

* Load the modules (with activate_loopback=1)
* Install the microcode (em8300init)
* Launch xine with no video window (or whatever supports dxr3 for
playing)
* run autocal
* run dxr3view
* play your movie.

I hope this will help you.
