I agree it's a great bounty (and motivation to do it, as I have been
thinking about doing it for a while - all my cinelerra use is to make
DVDs).  I agree that using pipes with mplex is the way to go, but doesn't
it make more sense to use yuv4mpeg excoding (or other uncompressed format
that ffmpeg recognizes) out of cinelerra (i.e. into ffmpeg) instead of DV?  
Encoding to DV would just waste CPU cycles, as that would then have to be
re-encoded into MPEG-2...
