no, but today a guy came on mplayer-dev mailing list and he's currently working on a patch for it to add native BD support to mplayer so it'll be able (hopefully - somewhere in the future) to play BD discs just like it does now for DVDs. He's also working on AACS and in the future BD+ decryption. There's on going discussion on how to add this patch - built-in into mplayer or a separate library. There is libbluray project but it's been abandoned (though the guy on the mplayer list said someone picked it up) and is also coded in C++ (lolwut?) which could be problematic for mplayer as generally the devs are not very fond of C++ code in mplayer, though it does link to some
