Yes, on bright, shiny new FC 10 the latest xine FC10 rpm crashes on
invocation every time.

Fortunately, there's a fix. Delete xineplug_ao_out_pulseaudio.so out
of the /usr/lib/xine/plugins directory tree. It seems to be a buggy
interaction between xine and pulse audio. Deleting the plugin forces
reversion to alsa sound, but at least xine doesn't segfault.
