	time for my dime's worth of questions.  is there any way of
	building that audio/video app or plugin that works with linux?  
	it is from adobe and works with pc-bsd.  we've got a free
	version.  is it flash?  this is the main reason i switched
	to ubuntu for my desktop.  so i can watch sites like pbs.org
	and npr.org.  stream igages with sound.  in my opinion, it
	is this that stalls the broader use of all of the berkeley
	distributions.
