I am trying to contact the creator of those patches and see if he can 
give some more info on Python 2.6 and XBMC. I am not aware of a current 
pending review for XBMC?

Can you explain what this means in terms of building XBMC with DVD support?

I wouldn't miss faac support but it seems a shame as we have it in

free and non-free repos with faac support in the non-free version?
