Thanks for including the 'Splintering' link. In it I see a very good point made by Rob which you have convieniently glossed over (or perhaps it is the myopia of a linux dev);
"...We're looking for integration into GNOME, but we're also looking at
producing a world-class, *cross-platform* multimedia system, and we've
got to focus on the one we've got (Helix). While it's theoretically
possible to port GStreamer to Windows, Mac OS, and Symbian (for
example), it's *done* for Helix."
Why doesn't GStreamer work on Windows or Mac?
A published HelixSDK, not just the Producer SDK, might go a long way towards this mutually beneficial collaboration you speak of, regardless of platform.
There are windows downloads available on the nightly build page:
http://forms.helixcommunity.org/helixdnaclient/
These dont have the same GTK UI, but all of the nightlies pull from the same HEAD code base.
The RealOne player, on Mac and Windows, uses the same core engine and adds proprietary extentions and a different TLC.

Yep and it is pretty random. If you can come up with a consistent repro case please log it:

This Alpha RealPlayer for linux has more features than RP8, is OS, and pretty stable for an alpha. It DOES have Mozilla plugins too. They should 'just work' but you may have to copy them over manually depending on your system and where things are installed. This is explained in the README located in the install directory which defaults to/usr/local/RealPlayer with the.rpm and/whereYouRunItFrom/RealPlayer with the.bin

PPC is close! It is all about managing priorities with limited resources. Believe it or not there are PPC users, *gasp*, inside Real.
