Yes, mplayer provides holywood+ / dxr3 output. Moreover there's a plugin 
for vdr to use a dxr3 as decoder which has been reported to work rather 
well by now. See http://www.schluenss.de/DXR3.html . It uses transfermode 
to play back data from a DVB card, so it should be fairly easy to feed data 
to it from elsewhere.

Yes, as long as you have at least a dxr3 or equivalen I don't see why not.
