Ok, this is not exactly what you asked, but I'm going to say it anyway.
I use irmp3 to play my mp3's. I control it with my remote (lirc) and I believe it can also give output to TV.
Wow. This is exactly what I have been thinking about a long time. But you are not entirely right.
If the HURD would take that direction now, it would take even more decades to get a completely working system. If it is POSIX compliant, applications can be ported to it and it will useable much sooner.
Your plans sound great but I would like to suggest that it is implemented step by step. First try making a nice user interface that works that way on top of Linux of HURD. Or make a database or OO "filesystem" that can be used in the conventional way too or that saves all its information into one file. If you don't do it this way, it will be hard to get developers and users for your system.
