XBMC: External player

I use Zoomplayer as an external player for most of my video viewing.

Zoomplayer provides me with features XBMC is missing:
1. ability to customize decoders/filters to use
2. Fast Play (I watch videos at 1.16x normal speed)
3. audio equalizer (I customize it in zoomplayer, so I don't have to tweak my stereo equalizer)
