I haven't tried that, but I have successfully compiled Xine on YDL 2.1 and it 
does everything including my DVD needs, sadly though, it doesn't play 
encrypted DVDs because of course, the DeCSS problem.  But, I did hear that 
the kid that created DeCSS won in court in Linux Magazine, so that may soon 
change.

Merry Christmas.
