Stuff gets pulled in which breaks official packages, notable vlc. You
should at least never dist-upgrade with that repo enabled. We all use
it sometimes though, just watch out.
I don't know much about libxine2* but did notice that xine-ui (maybe
also other xine-orientated packages) depends on it. Seems it can
coexist for now but maybe libxine1* will disappear from sid sooner than
later. If kaffeine can be built against libxine2* that might avoid
problems later.
On my (probably broken) machine with Wheezy I tested both libxine from
deb-multimedia, as well as from Wheezy. With both, I had a problem. Same
with libxine1 and with libxine2.
In Quantal I successfully tested everything with libxine2 - amarok,
kaffeine and KMPlayer. So nothing should prevent the use of libxine2.
