As of version 10.5, Mac OS X includes native support for A2DP on Bluetooth-equipped Macs The A2DP Bluetooth profile allows to connect your Apple Macintosh to any A2DP Bluetooth stereo headphones, headsets, or reciever and listen to digital audio played by any Mac OS X applications including multimedia players such as XBMC. Bonus would be if AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) was supported as well as that would enable said A2DP Bluetooth stereo headphones or reciever to also control XBMC using the that headphone or headset remote control buttons (which uses the AVRCP protocol over Bluetooth to send commands).

LIRC has been ported to OS X before by many people. it word be cool to not only get the old Xbox gamepad working in XBMC on OS X but also the new Xbox 360 gamepad, especially the wireless XBox 360 Controllers via the Microsoft Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows.

Like maybe from AC3Filter which features both a down-mixing and a up-mixing filter: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ac3filter Do not let the name fool you, AC3Filter supports both AC3 and DTS mixing, and yes I know that AC3Filter is only for Windows but it is not the whole application you want, you only need to extract the down-mixing and up-mixing code and algorithm mapping. Otherwise you have other open source projects such as VLC, MPlayer, and Xine, which all also contain down-mixing filter code.

A HID for OSX that allows users to use xbox pads and the remote within the operating system.

it’d be sweet to be just able to use the xbox remote on the MAc.

That would surely make the Core 2 duo minis handle 1080p as well. Any news on when ffshow gets dual core support? That would surely make the Core 2 duo minis handle 1080p as well.

I'm not using the linuxport ffmpeg snapshot, but interface changes in the calling code leads me to believe that it's pretty up to date. They have "DLL" loaders for swscale and postproc, but I'm not sure in what capacity they're used. @Mr. Big: Sorry, no plans for PPC or even Tiger support. @LeviCorpus: Good question.

The PPC variant of FFMPEG isn't terribly optimized, and newer faster PPC Macs aren't available. PPC support is kind of a moot point.

What exacly would that require? Great work on this x86 version by the way, Apple remote and full screen display is the only major things lacking now IMHO.
