I tested, not exactly a distribution, but some program name "autoplayiso",
maybe it can help you, if you want to check out the source code.
This program allow you to create a .iso image with few features, then you
burn a CD and boot with it, what you will get will be ->
1) a gnu/linux window manager very very little (based on LIMP distribution)
2) an mplayer with your movie film ready to start
3) none window manager
Maybe you can look at LIMP distribution, to know how they have used "ram
disk" and starting X, and then, use autoplayiso software (source code) to
know how to start X with some applications (in this particulary case,
mplayer).

No recommendation, but a few comments;
It's fairly straightforward to get X to run without a window manager -
just don't start one! This should work well as long as your single app
only has a single window. With more than one window, you more or less
need a window manager.
"Working firewire" depends highly on what firewire hardware you are
using, since firewire audio devices don't have the same kind of
standardisation that USB devices do. Check with the FreeBoB people.
As long as you're not planning to distribute the software packages you
build (in which case you have to worry about dependencies and
compatibility), it's pretty easy to build your own packages at least on
DEB and RPM based systems. Just install Checkinstall, and type
'checkinstall' instead of 'make install' when you've built the software.
It will generate a package file automatically.
