I've posted about this in users but I've since made some progress so I thought I'd refile it as I'm now sure that this was a direct product of the instillation process.
Sound is working on my system. I can run firefox and play a youtube video but still no hulu or xine. Both start for a second and then crash. I've narrowed the problem down to this log section:
