I know that streamed video isn't currently available in the Linux alpha client, as it says in the README.

However, when you do finally enable it, please be sure to supply the appropriate libgstreamer, libgstvideo and libgstaudio shared libraries with the client, because 32-bit emulation libraries don't seem to exist for those, and that means that no 64-bit machine will be able to see streaming video unless you supply them. (I think)

(I gather that a 32-bit emul library isn't just an ordinary library compiled on a 32-bit box? I tried that, and it went *bang*. :P)

Other than that, the 32-bit client has always run very nicely on my 64-bit Gentoo on Athlon64. Good work! :-)
