I use 'mplayer -ai oss:/dev/em8300_ma-0 -vo dxr3 -vc mpegpes $file'

You have to use the mpegpes videocodec. That means that it will send the
video straight to dxr3. Your command decodes and encodes the video and
after that send it to dxr3. So there is _minor_ optimization... :)

I'm using P-166 and mplayer is newest source package, not cvs..
And video runs fine, also dvd's.. except the subtitles..
