No Karanbir made this stupid statement

The so called "iplayer" is certainly an app in the Windows-world but
in the Linux world it's just a Website where you can stream Flash-files

When you deliberately never install Flash for various reasons

I certainly care because i want to use only free codecs embedded in free
Players (not as in free Beer) and don't want to be obliged to install
proprietary closed crap from Macromedia.
