hi folks,

it's been quite a while since i did my last release for xine so please
be patient with me if this goes completely wrong. anyway - here it goes:

xine-lib 1-beta5 is now available for download. While the release focus
is mainly on bugfixes there are also a few new features in this release,
such as 'Qclp' Qualcomm PureVoice audio decoing via Quicktime DLL,
HuffYUV video decoding via ffmpeg, vidixfb vo driver for vidix overlay
on linux frame buffer and the number of video buffers is configurable
now for performance tuning.
BTW this is the first release which has a working (but of course still
highly experimental) video processing interface which will be used in
enix.

changlog has this:

ne-lib (1-beta5)
  * new AV sync strategy (audio resample) for DXR3 users
  * improved fb driver with zero copy
  * fix the v4l plugin for lower resolution devices (webcam)
  * nvtv bugfixes
  * network code bugfixes (again long wait for some streams)
  * fix flac content detection (caused trouble to other demuxers)
  * OSS driver fixes (for cards using GETOPTR sync method)
  * fixed gnome-vfs plugin to be used for remote locations (other than http)
  * at least for DVD input, the language reporting is now channel-aware
  * CD-ROM/XA ADPCM decoder
  * QT demuxer fixes to select among multiple A/V traks and support 
    non- and poorly-interleaved files 
  * support for the css title key cache in the latest versions of a well
    known css decryption library
  * allow to crop the dxr3 overlay area to help users who see green lines
    at the top or bottom of the dxr3 overlay image
  * fixed discontinuity detection bug in MPEG block demuxer
    (this might fix occasional - or, in case of "Dances with Wolves" RC2,
    enduring - audio stutters in DVD playback)
  * win32 loader bugfixes (most notably indeo, quicktime and wmv9)
  * FFT post plugin improvements
  * 'Qclp' Qualcomm PureVoice audio decoing via Quicktime DLL
  * libdvdnav updated to 0.1.5: miscellaneous fixes
  * HuffYUV video decoding via ffmpeg
  * vidixfb vo driver for vidix overlay on linux frame buffer
  * video processing api race condition fixes and other updates
  * make number of video buffer configurable by the user
    (performance tuning option)

Enjoy! :)
