This is interesting: although I use powerpc at work I'm stuck on Intel at home,
where I tried both xine and oms. I had xine crashing too, but oms worked some
of the time. I can't build either on the PowerPCs because I'm running Potato,
but this may change when teaching stops and I go for an upgrade...
Maybe it's time to try OMS/Xine again?
Incidentally, isn't it the case that the xine and oms engines are essentially
the same (I recall reading that on the OMS wiki --
http://www.linuxvideo.org/docs/wiki/moin.cgi/LividDiscussion about half way
down under "Nice Thought - here's and idea...")
