I also did the same research as you, but I found that version 5 HAS been ported to
Linux.  I downloaded the rv50_linux file and got it to run on my 2.2.6-STABLE
using linux_lib.  Only bummer was that I could not hear any sound... i.e. the
player's little marker wasn't moving accross the horizontal bar.

Any reason why this was happening.. I have a cheap ASOUND btw.
