You should also follow the linuxtv-softmpeg@linuxtv.org list, then (the 
whole archive is easily readable).
libsoftmpeg + softmpeg VDR plugin is quite the same as softdevice plugin 
on DirectFB. I am currently evaluating both.
It seems that the guys there have a working HW MPEG2 decoder code. This 
is released as a patch to a 404 not found URL though...

A propos : I think the softdevice + DirectFB vs. libsoftmpeg + softmpeg 
is a duplicate effort : what the developpers think about joining ?
