Hopefully you're not going to remove it?  There a some embedded systems
around which are not capable to run X, or won't have an accelerated X
driver available.  VIDIX makes it easily possible to support these
devices, without having to code a full 'vo' driver.  MPlayer is probably
the most leightweight OSS video player around, making it a good match
for embedded systems.

(BTW I'm the developer of a VIDIX driver for the Ingenic jz47xx SOC for
use with the NanoNote -- http://sf.net/projects/mplayer-jz47xx/).
