Not too bad for resource use - they seem to take about 7% CPU each
(including any SlimServer overheads - I'm running it on the same box) on my
Athlon64. Could be media encoding dependant though?
I might try out alternative players with their own web interfaces sometime
(MediaPlayerClassic, VLC) if I can find the enthusiasm to integrate the web
interfaces (I'm only interested in web interface control).

Wow, that sounds really interesting (and cool).
The one question that comes to mind for me immediately is how is the
performance? The Softsqueeze player sometimes seems to use a lot of
resources, probably because it is written in Java.
This would seem like a perfect time to use Squeezeslave, but I don't
think you can change the virtual MAC address on that. I also don't
think you can choose the output device it uses.
