Ah, OK, didn't know that. However, it would be worth as an exercise.

Following your remark, I've tried to feed a pipe as a file input. This is failing, I get an error
"demux_wavpack: (open_wv_file:127) open_wv_file: non-seekable inputs aren't supported yet."

This looks pretty bad to me, since I want to use the xine lib for a streaming application, feed it via a pipe. Is Xine unsuitable for this?

I'm using a precompiled 1.1.11.1-1 package under Fedora8 atm. I was able to compile it myself, too, but had issues with it.
