I'm fairly sure we should be able to dump MPEG data to it, considering
it's meant to be used in a PVR style (if it were just pass-thru, the system
wouldn't be able to pause/ff/rw the video). It will probably be usable in
the same fashion that the other mpeg decoders are -- push a stream to it,
and it'll decode it.

(mpeg1/2 decoder cards are a dime a dozen, leftovers from when cpu's weren't
fast enough to play DVD's)
