Supporting Flash seems to soak up most of the problem that can be
solved, eg, youtube, Google Video, and if you have 32-bit firefox you
can have it. Seems the only answer for Quicktime and such is the
corporate mantrap that is Mplayer, it makes no sense for Redhat to
invite attack on their cash by playing that game. There is no limit to
the number of dangerous proprietary formats that one could address by
that logic.
flash isnt a standard... how about creating a new better technology
and obsolete it? flash requires mp3 for sound playback... so even if a
gpl implementation exists it wont be going into extras... id just
forget about flash and look "forward". personally i wont run a 32 bit
browser on my 64 bit system just to get the closed source garbage
working. only real use case for flash would be watching some funny
movies... as far as regular webpages go... i am not a flash fan at
all, but thats just me...
Yeah... but the thousand flies that like SoundClick, PureVolume,
15megsoffame, etc... etc... etc... not to mention the Internet radios
and other multimedia sites fell like compelled to use M$ or Apple OS X
???
*not optional* in 2006, any more than the ability to read Microsoft
Word files in a word processor is optional; if we try to treat them
that way, consumers will blow Linux off. Evangelizing for SVG and O
gg
Consumers mostly just dont know that they are using worse legacy
formats like mp3 when they have superior formats such as ogg
available... i think thats a plain educational problem.
Just as OS2 was superior of NT4.0... Hey... that's
nonsense... most portable players just play MP3, WMA, WMV, MPG and AVI.
The others are rare, expensive and have exotic interfaces... Not to
talk about the digital sound systems that we have at home, at our cars,
etc... Try to play OGG/Theora in your DVD player at home... Try to play
OGG/Theora on your PS2... That's not educational problem that's
practical problem...
