Well, I was reading some knew and found thishttp://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-101 … l?part=rss
And what intriguide me the most was:

The new version differs from previous beta versions of AIR for Linux by fully supporting Flash 10 which includes such niceties as 3-D effects, high resolution text rendering, custom filters, and support for digital rights management (DRM). These features are important for media intensive applications like photo and video editing tools, and applications like Adobe's AIR-based media player software, which make use of the DRM support to serve up protected content.

Does this means we now will be able to play DRM encrypted files?

There is no 'standard' for DRM afaik. I think every seller has its own DRM implementation pretty much, but they all rely on the player checking online for the validity of the license or sth?

Anyway - iPlayer is BBC stuff... I doubt it is targeted at anything else than providing access to the BBC's own audio and video captures (it would make no sense to put tax payers' money into something private corporations could profit off).
