	No, xine does not use XvMC via FFmpeg. Not sure about all the design 
decisions behind it but this comes from xine's FFmpeg diff file for the 
file avcodec.h:

+/* FIXME: We cannot use ffmpeg's XvMC capabilities, since that would 
require
+ * linking the ffmpeg plugin against XvMC libraries, which is a bad thing,
+ * since they are output dependend.
+ * The correct fix would be to reimplement the XvMC functions 
libavcodec uses
+ * and do the necessary talking with our XvMC output plugin there. */
+#undef HAVE_XVMC
