Is split-screen multiplayer planned?  Does anyone know of a FLOSS FPS that has split screen?

Something like Serious Sam has.
Multi-profiles support, and the hability to play both players on the same PC. Sad is the fact that only one can handle the mouse, while the other can't handle anything but keyboard. (Or joystick if -s-he has Tongue)

i'd really love split screen multiplayer, it was done on the Xbox community Q3 port, though that's a bunch of proprietary trickery there methinks.

asking when OA3 will be done won't get OA3 done.
Progress of OA3 currently occurs behind closed doors alone

I do not provide technical support either.

Rendering two different views is only a tiny fraction of the work
needed for true splitscreen support.

A quick way to setup the game
A better way to handle controls

It is also the two points that would some of the biggest problem.

On a split screen you would only use 1 sound source, I've seen a bunch of sdl games and the added benefits of doing so would be to put on the frontpage
Feature - Split Screen
its just cool.
and if someone is running linux on the ps3, xbox, or some other console they could play OA on it with other people, it would be very cool.

Too low level.  Look in the cgame code (cg_view, cg_draw etc).

USB and a proprietary driver, because I don't think Windows / Linux / MAC has native support for that.

Multi-pointer X?

If I can remember OpenGL has to kinds of modes when it comes to rendering on the screen. Direct Rendering(Fastest) & In-Direct(Slow) Rendering. Only one program on the system can use the Direct Rendering. Everything else will use In-Direct Rendering.
