Hey now, the two cases are totally different!  We wanted to help Rod, but
couldn't understand him.  We really _didn't_ want to help you with
Automatix, because it was an ugly, dangerous, kludge, that could be dealt
with by far safer methods :-)

You're right - _that_ would seem to be a kaffeine/xine error, and is the
only thing that kaffeine/xine is doing wrong (wrt this situation, anyway).

You & Rod should both comment on it (though I'm pretty sure this is not a
HAL problem, as stated - no wonder it isn't getting any attention).

Again, you're probably right.

btw, always search bugs.launchpad.net first - you'd have found this, and the
workaround, by mid May. (in fact, a simple google for "kaffeine encryption
error" finds this bug report...)
