DirectFB support in xine-lib

Hi there,

I m currently working on a software depending on DirectFB and Glib only
that will act as an embedded DVD/Divx player.

My plan was to integrate both GStreamer and Xine-lib as multimedia
backends through a flexible plugin system.

I haven't started yet with GStreamer integration as that would imply
writing a sink plugin for DirectFB.

I focused my efforts on integrating xine-lib as i have been told that
xine-lib supports DirectFB.

I tried yesterday to compile xine-lib-1-rc0a with DirectFB being in the
pkg-config path but i discovered that directfb support is commented out
in src/video-out/Makefile.am...

What's going on there ? Is it really that buggy or broken ?

My second question is the following : As applications like totem creates
themselves an Xwindow and give that window to xine-lib so that video
output goes there, i would like to do the same for DirectFB. That would
mean that i create a DirectFB Surface and give to xine-lib for video
output...

Is it something possible or will i have to do some code in the directfb
plugin for that?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers
