it is the same category of problems: xine and X are both applications, which, if lagged, are noticed by users. xine can be a perfectly fine CPU hog when playing back DVDs. It can also be a mostly interactive task playing back music mostly. For xine it's not just that audio skipping that gets noticed, it's also the video-playback jerkiness that can be noticed by users.
