interesting stuff, now that the proprietary Flash player for Linux has
caught up with other platforms (after skipping a version) and Gnash
are using Tamarin to support flash 9, things should be a bit easier.

However, by 'Flash' do they mean 'Flash Video', i.e. flv rather than
swf? I would assume so as FLV is used by YouTube and Google Video. FLV
is a proprietary format based on the open H.263, supported by FFmpeg
and thus Mplayer, VLC and so on.
