Here is my big chance to try Steven's non-Xvesa package in BL2 (but not 
overwrite the libc6 binary so I should install manually).

Why would Xine need X11 to play sound, but not to display the gui?

What is a demux_avi?  Is this related to X11?  Why is it looking at 
input_dvd.so in order to play a .wav file?

Are you using Xine with BL2?
