I am trying to insert short clips and sound files in a Beamer

The file compiles without any issue, but nothing corresponding to the

Is anyone having luck with this issue? The Beamer manual seems to
imply that movie/sound support in pdf is kind of iffy, as it depends
on pdf readers and perhaps on platform. I am on Linux, and have tried
both Acroread and Okular, with similar results. Any hint greatly
welcome.
I think none of the existing PDF readers on Linux can play embedded movies.
Particularly, Adobe Reader for Linux does not provide a suitable media player,
whereas such files usually work on Windows (and Mac).

I guess adobe reader fro windows can be run on wine, can't it?
To second Jürgen's comment, using the movie15 package, I can put 3D
models in pdf documents (using u3d files and a little bit of evil red
text). However, only Adobe Reader on Windows can read them, while
sumatrapdf (based on mupdf) or TexWorks (based on poppler) can't, even
on Windows. Most Linux readers use poppler, so I'df expect them to fail.
