i disagree. the main problems of dvdnav vs. mplayer:
- cache
- no mouse input handled
- no still images support -> non-animated menus wont work
- no subpicture highliting support -> you can't see selection in menu
- no runtime track switching (audio, sub, etc) possible

unless these are solved (can't be - most are design issues) it won't be
usable.

i know it well. and it's also the source of most problems xine have with
their code design and the "metronome" (a-v sync) code...
