I tried this and got the following results (when running with --vout xv):

When running VLC with --vout x11, it manages (barely) to play video on remote X server, although it prints out errors such as:
[0xa26f8fc] xcb_x11 generic error: shared memory server-side error: X11 error 10
[0xa26f8fc] xcb_x11 generic: using buggy X11 server - SSH proxying?

Interestingly enough, mplayer works fine under the same circumstances and produces a video stream that is almost watchable,
only appears in slow-motion.
