I don't think this is true.  Or at least shouldn't be.

It's possible to hand compile and install the libraries into a
personal directory and have a system installed xine magically start
using them.  Just set up something like LD_CONFIG_PATH.

I think most of the lowlevel libs like dvdread and dvdnav will use the
CSS stuff if it's present and fall back gracefully if not.
