On linux (i386 anyway), mplayer manages to get pretty much
every format media to play by using the actual windows codecs
and constructing an environment for them to run in under linux
to fool them into thinking they are on windows.
I've just been comparing the SANE supported scanners list to
the lists of scanners you can actually walk into a store and
purchase, and the intersection of the two sets is almost
totally empty (in fact, for the scanners with "complete"
support, it is empty, there are a handful with "good" support).
Ignoring for a moment all the same copyright issues mplayer
ignores, anyone think it might be possible to do the same kind
of thing with linux scanner support mplayer does with multimedia?
Fool the scanner software into thinking it is windows?
Come to think of it, can wine already do this?
