When vdr was using the hardware video out of a nexus card, it worked great. I had a LOT fewer problems. The video interface plugin should be just that and nothing more.
It doesn't need support for irc in it
It doesn't need lirc support, that is in vdr
There is an mplayer plugin if you need to play other formats. But then that is part of ffmpeg, so a player based on ffmpeg would have it rulling out the big attraction for some for xineliboutput
etc....

You can always try softdevice, which is mostly a playback interface using ffmpeg.
Isn't softdevice abandoned?
It hasn't seen any new features added for a while, but should still work as a software only playback device.
At any rate vdpau support is a requirement so anything that doesn't have it can automatically be ruled out. I do agree that it would be nice to have an ffmpeg-based vdr plugin but at present the only vdpau capable option I'm aware of depends on libxine.
I guess that what you'd really want would be a pure VDPAU playback device, not necessarily using ffmpeg.
