Not sure why it would be difficult to port MPlayer, seeing as it's already available on Linux. Unless you guys have made a lot of changes to it, I'd say keeping it it's own executeable, just call it when it's needed would allow the user to simply get codecs for MPlayer and have them seamlessly (or, at least to an extent) in XBMC as well.
But I really am no coder, and you guys CERTAINLY know more about this than I do, but that part just didn't really make sense in my mind.
