It is possible to run other applications than the stock player.
It is also possible, I believe though it is untested, to trick the player into loading roms other than the encrypted ones in the firmware. That's not a very transparent procedure, so I'm really just guessing. I'd go into more details, but it would likely bore someone to tears.
Here's a page with some of my findings (a bit out of date as the process for telnetd access has changed with the move from android 1.6 to android 2.1):

The *easier* route is to hijack the existing kernel/rootfilesystem, which is very possible.
