I don't see why not, the card does the decoding, not the driver.

I think it's only MP@ML.  I tried decoding HDTV (1080i) and it didn't
work even though it was < 20Mbit, so I'm guessing the largest video
resolution the card can decode/display is around 720x576.

I think you'd be pretty safe staying below 19Mbit, the microcode that
does the actual decoding on the card is the same as the Windows driver,
so you'd expect the same performance.
