@idioteque,
The Western Digital TV and WD Live (WD TV2) boxes use Sigma Designs SMP8635 and SMP8655 chipsets, respectively. (see page 2 of both docs)
These are 300Mhz and 500Mhz MIPS processors, respectively. They also use only 2D graphics.
The Asus O'Play uses Realtek's Venus RTD1073 SoC, which is a 200 Mhz MIPS processor, and also has no 3D acceleration hardware.
So, no 3D graphics (not even with a proprietary API) and MIPS architecture = no go.
