Is it possible to allow XBMC (Linux/Win32) to use an outside Video player (such as Mplayer)? This would solve the codec problem no?

So, I gather that the idea is to make DVDPlayer the primo player for XBMC (or any HT platform for that matter), and thus obviate the need for another player to be loaded?
If that is the case, are there plans in the works for DVDPlayer to be able to load external DLLs like Mplayer can now, in order to get QT/Sorensen support, RealMedia support, etc?
DVDPlayer already runs circles around mplayer on some of the h.264 content I've got on my Xbox (like the Apple MacBook Air promo video, and the iPhone promo video). Almost no stutter on DVDPlayer, and completely unwatchable on mplayer.
