Unfortunately, most of these enhancements require a *replacement*
package, ie, a new arts, kdepim, kdelibs, kdebase, etc, which neither
Extras or Livna can (or wants to) do (for good reason).
AFAIK, Livna has a nice (xine-lib'd) kdemultimedia-extras package already.
It was my impression that KDE was going to be moving over to using
gstreamer soon. Wouldn't this end up replacing xine-lib?
