32 Im currently running live versions of both gecko-mediaplayer and
33 gnome-mplayer and largely running without any problems. Do note that the
34 versions in portage are quite old, 0.9.3 is the latest release and you may
35 have problems with sandbox violations using the 0.9.3 ebuilds attached to
36 bugzilla [1], however if your feeling brave the live -9999 ebuilds do work
37 quite well.
