   I have a snapshot at http://gnash.lulu.com/olpc/. The tarball is from
 CVS, with embedded FLV video support and sound support. This needs to be
 installed, as the browser plugin uses the standalone Gnash player. Then
 copy the .so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. The snapshot assumes its
 installed in /usr/local/olpc, although there are no hardcoded paths, so
 you can put it anywhere.

   Currently Gnash builds fine from CVS for the OLPC, so you can do you own
 build if need be, or I can do another one after I get back from FOSDEM
 2007.

 > Similarly, we'll need some easy way to swap this out for the Adobe
 commercial player, as we know there will be content out there that
 countries will need to access for which Gnash isn't yet capable enough to
 play.

   That would be trivial, just swap the shared library in the plugins
 directory.
