Eran,

No, there is currently no direct support for such a format in GDAL.

The gdal/swig/python/scripts/gdal2xyz.py script will produce such a file
but it is not then readable with GDAL, nor can it be referenced from a .vrt
file.

I do frequently use the AAIGRID driver to produce easy to read ascii files,
but it does not produce x/y values for each pixel.

Best regards,
