easy way around this: tell xine to exit when the stream finishes and run it
in a loop. I am running the following in a shell loop. the important options
being --no-splash and --auto-play=fhq, so xine starts immediately playing the
stream and exits as soon as the stream finishese (e.g. when vdr restarts) or
when xine chokes on a "faulty" stream. I also sometimes saw runaway xine
processes, which still hold the xv/xvmc port, so everything called xine is
killed forcibly afterwards.
xine $VERBOSE --aspect-ratio 4:3 --geometry 1024x768 --no-splash --no-lirc \
-V xxmc -A alsa --post vdr --auto-play=fhq \
vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes
killall -9 xine
