Backtrace? (but I can almost guarantee that the crash happens within xine-lib)

There are two ways for setting the dvd drive. Apparently xine-lib
doesn't like the way I've chosen in your environment.

The devices are auto-detected (using solid / HAL; if you want to play
a dvd kaffeine looks for a device containing a dvd and passes this
device to xine).
