media-video/avi-xmms depends on media-video/avi-file --> dependency doesnt work. its also broken / doesn't compile
Didn't mean to steal bug... feel free to take it back if your already working on a solution... If not I'll give it a look this weekend :)
Well, 4Front Tech. has yet to release a version of avi-xmms plugin which will compile against avifile-0.6 series. However, I have managed to locate a patch to XMMS which allows it to play avi movies against the newer avifile libraries. Until 4Front releases a new version of avi-xmms plugin, this will have to do, unfortunately. Please unmerge win32codecs, avifile (all versions) avi-xmms and xmms. Then remerge xmms and you should have avi support built in. It is the Plover avi input. Please let me know how you feel about this.
