No (yes, once in a while someone states they will do it, so far nobody
has, and honestly I don't think anyone ever will).

Just use -vo gl:yuv=2:force-pbo:ati-hack
and if you have an ATI card make sure you use the 8.8 driver (sorry, all
others are just too broken - 8.8 is quite broken too, but it happens to
work for MPlayer).
I admit you will not have any fun with SIS/S3 or any card without OpenGL
support, but probably movies won't play very well on these anyway...
