I managed to get it to somewhat work in February. The only problem was
compiling XMPS. I removed the flags "-DHAVE_MMX -DHAVE_2Dnow -DARCH_X86"
from codecs/video/mpeg3/Makefile.am
It was locking up quite often, but I was able to play the example videos
from the site. And obviously didn't play any Windows DivX movies.
You might have more luck using MOL and the hacked Microsoft Media
Player, I didn't try that though.
Cheers
