(chris, no need to CC: me. I am subscribed to the list.)

It seems that your XFree configuration isn't properly setup for MIT-SHM
(The MIT Shared Memory Extension). I don't know much about MIT-SHM since
I am running XFree88-4.0.2 and the Xv extensions work very well on my
system.

You might have to RTM to figure out how to setup X for MIT-SHM. Not sure
why you didn't hear any audio (are you sure your speakers are plugged in
and powered on :P).

Also try xine-0.3.7 which is the current stable release. 4.0.1 is
considered a development snapshot even though it sports lots of
improvements under the hood.
