Both are already released under an open source license? sacddecoder is LGPL and sacd-ripper is GPL v2

Yep. Whatcha think? I've been through the code at a glance and with AE it's gonna sound pretty sweet at 24/88.2 or 24/176.4. It transcodes to PCM so it's an easy enough mesh. In Foobar they sound outstanding. I can pass floats straight to AE.

There'll be some work probing the .ISO file to determine that it's an SACD as opposed to a DVD image, the rest is adhering to the XBMC decoder API, but the gist of it is already done.

I figured with AE it's worth doing. I e-mailed him again today, but I guess it's cool license-wise.

EDIT: One other bit of fun will be integrating the "inside view" of the .iso. Most people keep the full iso as opposed to seperating out the various tracks. The foobar plugin looks inside the iso and returns the track list, so this will take some work to integrate into XBMC's list functions.
