You might have a look at dyne:bolic[1]; while it's primary focus seems
more on creating content it may be suitable for your needs.  I played
around with it several years ago and rather enjoyed it.

Digging through the manual a bit I found some info on supported formats:

Audio: WAV, MIDI, MP3, OGG / VORBIS, MOD, XM, FLAC, SPEEX (and more)
Video: AVI, MPEG, DIVX , WMV, with additional support for TV cards and
Quicktime, RTSP and HTTP live streams

YMMV of course.
