My guess is that it's an issue with the ffmpeg in testing.

Thank, Eric.
Did some testing:
- Downgrading xine-lib to 1.2.2-5 isn't helpful - I get a blank screen if trying to open the sample in Kaffeine.
- Downgrading ffmpeg to the version in Extra isn't helpful - same result.
- Downgrading both isn't helpful as well, still blank screen. which is odd, as thing did work a couple days back.

If you want to try domwngrading, you'll also need to downgrade x264.

It worked.
The following downgrades leads to a working setup:
xine-lib (1.2.2-6 => 1.2.2-5)
ffmpeg (1:1.1.2-1 => 1:1.0.1-1)
x264 (20130206-1 => 20121113-1)

Hi Ionut,
I've been away for a few weeks and 2 things has happened during this time.
- I decided to reinstall my system, not using [testing] this time, since I really do not have the knowledge to do even simple things such as applying a patch as you suggested.
- The package in question (xine-lib 1.2.2-6) has since moved to Extra, so now the problem is not restricted to [testing].
Luckily I had a copy of the 4 older versions, so I could "fix" the problem by downgrading.
Perhaps you could try applying the patch on your side and link to a patched package, or point me to a simple step-by-step tutorial on how to apply a patch to source and create an Arch package.
Adam.

I've tested that patch and it doesn't fix the sound (it still sounds like white noise).

Please test xine-lib 1.2.2-7 from [extra]; it includes an upstream patch [1] that fixes the sound for me.

I can confirm, 1.2.2-7 solves the issue.
Thanks all.
