  It's not the greatest, but I know a lot of people want that. More 
interesting though, is I believe the 9.0 codec isn't fully compatible (I

becoming Free (as in freedom) is exciting...

  Well its unusable for some people I'd like to get on GNU/Linux systems (at 
least until they get acclimated).
