Hmmm I would put them under /tmp/.vdr-xine or the like. /usr/lib is for 
libs, /usr/share for static data, /etc/ for configuration. Maybe it 
would be a good idea to append some unique ID too to the fifos. So i 
would vote for /tmp/.vdr-xine.123456 or the like. At least some other 
apps like kde, xmms and more having sockets there. That as default and 
making it possible to pass the location to the plugin should be the 
safest solution.
