Well I am not real concerned about kaffeine since it depends on kde4/base. 
Your xine bump is not compatible with kde (as a whole) which means 
phonon/kdebase4-runtime cannot use it; additionally if the current kde-
beta(4.6) is any indication the same will apply. Those wishing to use the 
xine-backend will not have that choice.
