"makes you wonder whether there might be some VIP connection to CUBE's (or other manufacturers') MPEG-2 codecs?"

I believe it's already been done with the i740. ;-)

Support for TV-out and video capture is already there for the i740.

BTW Intel has a design guide on their site that gives you everything you need to know to make an i740 board. Schematics, BOM, even how to solder the parts in.

In it, they give you names of who to contact for DVD daughter cards.

6.6 DVD Daughter Cards

Intel has worked to enable a variety of hardware DVD solutions. Each of the vendors below will have a functional reference daughter card compatible with the Intel740T graphics accelerator reference design. These designs can be modified so that the DVD component is down on the card or left as is so that multiple DVD solutions can be implemented.
Depending on the implementation of audio chosen three options exist. One option is to have a software audio solution. This decreases the overall board cost and makes the physical requirements of audio hook-up relatively straight forward. The second option is to have hardware audio and cable this over to the system's sound solution (sound card or motherboard audio). The third option is to use an SPDIF connector to connect to an external SPDIF decoder outside of the chassis.
