Progress update:
I definately do not get sound for DVR-MS but get great quality video. Advance controls are a little unpredictable. I have tried various codecs on the PC end and hasn't changed anything.
For those that do not need or care about FF/RW, I did try Tversity for the Upnp server. It can transcode video files. I set it to transcode everything and can get the DVR-MS files to play with sound in-synch. There is a little casheing time on the front end but is acceptable. I have not watched a full show to see if it can play a full show with out re-cacheing. The only problem I have is that FF/RW do not work but the skip does. If you hit it too many times it will freeze though so it may not work for commercials.
You have to load the latest FFDshow filters and the Ty-Show filters but it does work. For me though I will continue to convert since I am a commercial skip junkie until the Mplayer folks get the bugs worked out. It is great that the XBMC is this far along and does support the UPnP stuff which I was addicted to before I moded an XBOX.
