Hi David.

1) Uninstall SuSE Xine (if you have not done so already).
2) http://xinehq.de/index.php/releases
3) http://packman.links2linux.org/?query=xine&action=search. SuSE Rpms 
ready to go.

A bit of work to go find and download, obviously.  But less than 
reinstalling/overinstalling a new OS.

Regards,
Steve
