  <para>
   The following drawing shows the components of xine as outside applications
   see them. For every component, the functions for creating and destroying it
   are given. Every other function works in the context it is enclosed in.
   Functions that facilitate the connection of the individual components are
   also given.

   The function are named just to give you an overview of what is actually
   there. It is all thoroughly documented in the plublic header
   <filename>xine.h</filename>, which is the main and preferably the only xine
   header, clients should include. (xine/xineutils.h and the XML parser might
   make an exception.)

  <title>Writing a new frontend to xine</title>
  <para>
   The best way to explain this seems to be actual code. Below you
   will find a very easy and hopefully self-explaining xine frontend
   to give you a start.
  </para>
  <para>
   One important thing to note is that any X11 based xine-lib frontend
   must call <function>XInitThreads()</function> before calling the
   first Xlib function, because xine will access the display from
   within a different thread than the frontend.
