Welcome to the wonderfull world of Xine.  I've given up on it for a while in
order to regain some sanity.  The basic reason that xine sucks is that there
are abuses of the local stack all over the place, which is a no-no in
FreeBSD when using pthreads.

The problem with this 'plugin' is that it replaces the /input directory and
squashes all of the fixes that I put into /input/dvd_udf.c.  Captain CSS
hasn't bothered to update his 'plugin' in to what's in the xone CVS in quite
some time.  You can try copying in the official dvd_udf.c into the CSS
plugin and see if that helps.  In any case it's pretty gross.

This is normal.

And so is this, unfortunatley.

Put the hw.ata.atapi_dma=1 line into /boot/loader.conf.  sysctl.conf doesn't
get run until after all the devices have been probed.
