Yes, MPlayer has its own DShow interface implementation which is partly based on Wine code. That enables the DShow filters to work on other x86 platforms like Linux, *BSD and probably OS X x86, and not only Windows. Since the interface is not complete and implements only specific parts of the full Win32 API, new binary-only filters usually need some coding work in the MPlayer's side. However, CoreAVC developers are probably more willing to work with the community than the codec manufacturers generally, so getting the filter to work should not be too difficult given some time and effort.
