I use xtheater to play asf/avi/divx media. There's an smpeg plugin for
xmms so it can play mpegs w/hardware accel if available. If you have the
correct modelines defined, you cna play back stuff fullscreen.

I have not setup either to handle streaming media, so I'm not sure that it
would work or not. You could try configuring netscape to use those
programs as helper apps. Take a look how plugger did it. Its probably the
same technique.

So yes, Linux now supports pornography. And there was much rejoicing.
