Hum, have you tried it before going through this messy setup? I said it
depended on your performance requirements. Videos with a resolution low
enough would definitely work in software (I don't know how low is low
enough, let me know if you try).

Yeah, SDL works.

No big problem there either.

libasound works too, but the ALSA driver in the kernel does not.

Just make sure you compile all those libraries as static, unless you
want to fix the linker and the libc and kill a GNUtard. You may also
want to give RTEMS a try; Linux is messy.
