If indeed it works, this is a -big- step forward.
With gnash slowly taking shape and native 64bit OO planned for FC6, the
only 32bit application I plan on running is Quake 4 :)

FWIW, on the off chance you folks have not seen this, you might want to review this article on Real Networks' agreement with MS to provide open source codecs:

RealPlayer releases codecs under GPL.

What's next? OpenWindowsVistaGPL?

j/k... I'm no license fanboy, but somehow I don't see them releasing
their codecs, source open or not, under GPL and such, it is useless when it comes to mplayer / xine.

The correction at the bottom of that article says it all.  The support
will be in the proprietary realplayer, not open sourced.

Thanks for noting that Jeff. So RealPlayer and not Helix will get the codecs.

Too bad.
