That would also allow to have a light setup, with no X (ie. no XMMS, no 
Xine-gui, etc.) : VDR with softdevice on DirectFB would play every format...
That's a kind of mix between VDR's recordings manager, the MP3/OGG 
plugin (for media selection), the DVD plugin, etc.
A consistent and strong architecture would highly involve Klaus and the 
core VDR, I think.
