28 kaffeine played it fine, via xine-lib (which may be using ffmpeg, I'm not
29 sure if it does for this codec or not), as well. I don't believe I've
30 any binary-only codecs, either.
31
32 So both xine-lib and mplayer can play it, along with anything that uses
33 them as a backend, which is pretty much anything video, on Linux. You
34 may have to play with USE flags a bit tho.
