I'm not sure if it's been answered yet, but I thought I'd throw this out:
mplayer uses either LAVC or FAME [depending on how mplayer was compiled/configured] to convert EVERYTHING to MPEG1 before it is sent to the DVB Device. In essence, it transcodes in realtime.
Not too efficient, but since transcoding to MPEG 1 takes little resources, most people probably don't notice.
I know it's probably what most of you didn't want to hear, but I figured you guys would want to know.

Thats plain wrong. Anything that can be feed directly, will not be transcoded. And i can see mplayer taking ressources , if mplayer is transcoding. Not everybody has a core duo 6600 ;)
