I do not have enough knowledge about A/V-streams to implement a muxer, but
the DXR3-plugin needs the ffmpeg-package, which holds a lot of muxing and
parsing libraries. So just ask on the ffmpeg-ML which code you can use.

If you use ffserver instead of RTP, you even could use all code from ffmpeg.

I also want to suggest you to build a patch to the DXR3-plugin which decides
to compile for DXR3-HW and/or Stream by Makefile.

Splitting up a complete new plugin will cause more work with maintaining
common code (e.g. updating OSD2VOBsub-code).

Maybe you can join the DXR3-developers.
