BCM970012 PCIe mini card for 1080p on Intel Atom

This review is very interesting:

These cards are available on Ebay for around £20.

I just saw this, seems good for mini-itx builds / netbooks. Doesn't actually say how it works though, I mean does it require specific video decoders or do any work, does it have any say in screen res/ refresh rate or is this still controlled by the igpu

MPlayer in linux does now, and more support comming, xbmc is the major one which does (in next version) , either use this (usually meaning loss of wifi card) or have a ION chipset with atom

Flash 10.1 b3 now supports broadcom accelerated video play now...

Can you point me to the version of mplayer that supports the BCM970012 since I can't find it, even from reading the mplay mailing list I get the impression it's not supported yet.
