"Desktop Linux is almost soup. We only have a few items left on the short list. Will we do it? If history is an indicator, the answer is yes." Read this article at LXer. Read more for a short list of my personal needs before I could say "yes, I can switch to Linux or FreeBSD full time".

Dammit, I'm going to suggest it anyway. Since MPlayer 0.9 the wincodec package has played everything I have ever thrown at it. QT, Win media, streaming Real files, tons of movie trailers (Incredibles, Matrix revolutions, SW III etc). Can't remember a single hiccup (though there probably have been some).
The Dmix thing, on the other hand, is right on the money. I hate playing the "guess which process holds the sound card" game.
