is it possible to virtualize the MD with Xen? I have a Server with DVI/HDMI, Digital Audio etc. Now I want to use Xen to be able to run seperate servers on this hardware. I don't use the AV-Outputs, so my Idea was to install a Hybrid LinuxMCE Device in a VM (or just a MD with a seperate core).

I would think so, but I haven't heard of anyone doing that before.  You might be the first, give it a try and let us know if it works!

I did a media director in vmware server on ubuntu and it worked without a problem.  Just a simple vm with no hd, set to boot from network.

What do you mean?  The video/audio?  The VM will have a virtual driver that passes through somehow in Xen to the physical device.
