Compile from source without any non tested external stuff. and keep your local copy in /usr/local it won't hurt nor break your distribution's packaging.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

If you want to run a specific software, the best advice is to run it with exactly the libs it was tested and those are internal xbmc libs.
You can do whatever you want on your private PC, if you want to have breakage, incompatibilities, version conflicts, compile failures, runtime errors and so on - continue to build with the "packages your distribution has tested".

something I'm starting to notice.
I just got new TV.
Now my resolution settings just won't stick.
I try to set my resolution through System Settings (in XBMC) to 1280 x 720, but when I reboot my computer, it always defaults to 1024 x 768.
is there some way to override the default settings?
i've searched to see if others are having this problem. but everything points to editing the xorg.conf -- which we don't use
------------------------------------------------------
edit -- found the xrandr option.

im running into some problems with xbmc hogging the audio device. I would like to run an instance of squeezelite/squeezeslave on my htpc for easy to use and control music listening via my logitech media server which also runs on my box.
the thing now is: xbmc seems to hog the audio device for about 1 minute after it has started and after it has played any audio output. i tried specifying in guisettings.xml to use the alsa dmix device which should work for these cases and merge audio streams. but it doesnt seem to change xbmc's behaviour.
is there anybody who has successfully managed to run 2 audio applications at once?

System -> Settings -> System -> Audio
Change the timeout to 0.

Ah and btw. What you probably want is a PulseAudio Sink - I am nearly finished with it.
