After running xfmedia, the number of audio buffers is reduced to 5 from the default of 230 in ~/.xine/config.  This causes severe audio problems when the xine plugin is used later to view video on-line in firefox.

Incorrect value in ~/.xine/config:

# number of audio buffers
# numeric, default: 230
engine.buffers.audio_num_buffers:5

The problem is caused by a typographical error in mainwin.c:

         xine_config_update_entry(xine, &cfgentry_a);

 }

After recompiling, and regenerating ~/.xine/config, the correct result is:

# number of audio buffers
# numeric, default: 230
#engine.buffers.audio_num_buffers:230

Note that it is necessary to remove or edit the old ~/.xine/config once to reset the value.
