work?

Yes, it is possible. I am doing so myself. You can eg use tvtime to watch tv. You only have to activate two things in your xorg.conf (XVideo and activating VideoOverlay). Here is the relevant part from my configuration:

Section "Extensions"
#       fglrx needs this for xvideo (tvtime)
        Option "XVideo" "Enable"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "ATI Graphics Adapter"
        Driver          "fglrx"
        BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
        Screen          0
#       if not used the image will get choppy in tvtime
        Option          "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
#       video overlay options
        Option          "VideoOverlay"          "on"
        Option          "OpenGLOverlay"         "off"
EndSection
