My take on this:
1. ffmpeg which is used by dvdplayer is part of mplayer, so in fact one can say that we use portions of mplayer.
2. As spiff noted mplayer is not embeddable. spawning another process and integrating with it might be possible but will require major effort. If someone wants to step and do it -- welcome.
3. Some parts of mplayer, mainly around streaming content, is better than XBMC but we are continuously improving our code and I think most of the functionality is there already.
If there's anything CONCRETE that's missing in dvdplayer/paplayer, I'd love to hear about it.
