i'd settle for stock KODI adding the ability to use external filters like MPC does

That's exactly what we'll never get. The main video player in Kodi will always remain the way it is (developed constantly, not meaning it never evolves). This has been made abundantly clear in the past.

What I still don't know if a binary addon could be introduced to provide what DSPlayer is offering us currently. That is, an extra video player. Since it already limits itself to adding an extra set of options and does not substitute VideoPlayer (the official Kodi one), I am left wondering if a binary addon could be doable. 

If a binary add-on was possible, it would be complicated by the fact DSPlayer needs a bunch of other external filters to work properly. It would probably be too complicated.
