It's not that insane. I've used XawTV over a LAN. But, doesn't -vo x11 
or -vo xv work over the network? I just tried a DVD sized movie with -vo 
xv over my 100Mb LAN and it worked fine, though it used more CPU than 
normal, since it couldn't use shared memory. Since SDL uses ordinary X 
protocol and Xvideo anyway, it may not make much difference.
