I also think that XBMC should have any way to support external decoder, like CoreAVC. I would pay gladly 8€, to have CoreAVC running with XBMC. Not only CoreAVC is one of the best decoders, but also supports CUDA, wich, in my case, would reduce A LOT the CPU use. I don't think the "extra" cost would be a problem, for those who really want it. I would pay gladly another 8€ for the XBMC plugin, if it was available.
Hope to see it some day.

What benefit does XBMC get from adding CoreAVC support?
The only benefit I see is that a limited number of users getting support for a paid codec
Why do we even need to spend time on CoreAVC when we have VDPAU right now, Dxvba soon, and ffmpeg-MT soonish. Also, you can already specify external players, so why not use an external player that is configured with CoreAVC?
CoreCodec has much more to gain than XBMC from the implementation of CoreAVC support. Maybe people should ask CoreAVC a compatibility patch for ffmpeg or to financially XBMC/ffmpeg

Actually, we should be able to use CoreAVC now with Tiben20's DSPlayer (DirectShow branch).
CoreAVC uses DirectShow filters.
I dunno, it should be trivial to implement. Tiben did it for the Broadcom CrystalHD DS filter pretty quickly.
