This is the normal use. Instead of doing the mpeg decoding in
software, xine sets up the display (TV or overlay) and sends the mpeg
data via the kernel driver to the mpeg decoder on the dxr3 card, very
much like the Windows player that you problably got with the card. In
this mode, you should be using the dxr3 video decoder plugin together
