Its been done before but the audio was coming out of the local card and the buffering in the 350 made the delay variable so it was hard to get audio & video in sync. Yes if you have an mpeg2 you can just throw it at /dev/video16.
Problem is you have to have plugins for every player/app people want to use (mplayer , xine, others) and it doesnt help other things like xmame etc. Also you loose features sometimes such as timestretch in myth going that way.
