forget about streaming video and flash
mplayer and mplayer-plugin make streaming video a little less painful,

So you can just point your web browser at a popular
news site and watch the video clips?
http://www.cnn.com/
http://www.msnbc.com/
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/default.stm
Skip-free full-screen video from an encrypted DVD too?
I'd especially love a solution that was solid enough
that I didn't have to worry about software upgrades
breaking it.
Also, the realplayer 8 is distributed for most ppc linux architecture.
It does not work as a plugin, but if you look at the web page source in
firefox, you can fetch the media address and feed it to the player.
And since mplayer can use the realplayer 8 libraries I wouldn't be
surprised if mplayer-plugin could indeed be used as realplayer plugin ;-)
I didn't try CNN, because then I need to "sign up here for a 14 day free
trial", MSNBC told me that "MSN Video requires Microsoft Windows® 98,
Windows ME, Windows 2000, or Windows XP." (very likely it doesn't, but
they're refusing to show their video content to anyone not using a
MickeySoft solution. Did you expect anything different?), however BBC
gave me a simple .ram that played just fine in the Linux realplayer. For
some reason I think that sounds a bit smarter than those other two ;-)
Skip-free DVD playback should be possible, unless you're using
framebuffer for X...
