Their official situation i beleive is that it ships with qt. When i
emailed them they suggested waiting for qt for osxserver and see if it
runs on other
unix's.
I havent tried, but i *wonder* if you could get it going with xmps's
windows
dll support (even though its for avis)
I got nothing on that one....
but i have troops in mpeg or something, as i can play it nicely in
xanim.
Although xanim and playting nicely are debatably contradictory, but
please
no flames =P

It crashed and burned, although a new wine came out today. It would

Although geiss for winamp works very well for me in wine....
