I can feel your pain when it comes to multi-media on Linux.  Though,  
it would not be wise for a company the size of RunRev to take  
something like this on.  Having a partner in Apple that manages QT is  
a huge time and money saver.  It allows Apple to carry the burden of  
maintaining a solid multi-media offering.  It is a lot cheaper for  
RunRev to support this than to create something on their own.

We can hope that QT will eventually be released for Linux.  I have  
heard that such a beast exists and Apple is waiting for the right  
time and/or need to release it.  I think we will see Rev support some  
other player for Linux before we see this happen.  Mplayer would suit  
my needs just fine.
