There isn't "a Linux player" so much as a series of them, for different 
versions of Linux, running on different hardware. Then you've got a range of 
external media APIs to connect to as well. There's no generic support as there 
is with "Mac Player" or "Win Player".

For available Adobe engines, check out the Adobe download pages. Redistribution 
of Adobe code requires licensing.

Trying to provide common abilities atop uncommon devices is hard. I'm not sure 
of the best path for your project.
