Ok, the verdict is in: the driver works under 6.4-prerelease / amd64 also.

Even 'mplayer /dev/cxm0' works (before I always had to use 
'mplayer -cache 8192 /dev/cxm0').
Sometimes mplayer looses track and starts printing the "too many video
packets in the buffer..." message. I can live with that.

Changing channels during play (with
'pvr250-setchannel <freq>' in another shell) also works - very nice.

Changing geometry works (not while playing of course). But when I try
to change pulldown, I get this:
tingo at kg-quiet$ pvr250-setchannel -p 1
Usage: setchannel [-d 0..x] [-c | -r | -s | -t] [-p 0|1] [-g geom] [freq]
  -c    Select composite input.
  -d    Select unit ( 0..x ). 
  -r    Select radio input.
  -s    Select svideo input.
  -t    Select tuner.
  -g    Select geometry.
          352x240 or 352x288 = VCD
          480x480 or 480x576 = SVCD
          352x480 or 352x576 = DVD (half D1)
          720x480 or 720x576 = DVD (full D1)
  -p    Toggle 3:2 pulldown
          0 = Enabled?
          1 = Disabled?
  freq  Frequency in MHz (must include decimal point).

It looks like '-p'  isn't recognized as a allowed parameter.

Note to self: do not use 'pvr250-setchannel -m 4'. You don't need to, and it will panic your machine.
