… in fact it is. I actually think I heard of it when it first was news. But http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Unified_Kernel is a project for patching the linux kernel to run windows executables nativily. It still has a long way to go, I didn’t even manage to get it to compile (though I didn’t try very hard either), but it’s definitivly worth keeping an eye on.
Another cool app I found recently is lftp. This should really be the standard ftp client in *nix. It supports everything, and it’s even better than wget. Yes, that’s right, wget. And not comparable to ncftp.
And then there’s mingw. Also old news, but if I didn’t hear about it, it’s news to me! Anyways, it lets you compile windows excutables under linux. Very neat. I guess that’s it … well I could mention that I recently found out about the acl system in most linux compatible fs’s which you can use with setfacl and getfacl, but that was probably never news …

This is a very simple example of how to use ffmpeg and libao to play music. I’ve not managed to get it to play FLAC yet and when playing very large movies (like 1080p) it will jump etc. but I’ll update it when I figure it out. It’s based on http://www.xiph.org/ao/doc/ao_example.c and http://www.dranger.com/ffmpeg/tutorial03.html. So far there isn’t any comments either, so you should check out the tutorials, and until I find a decent code highlighter for Wordpress you should just download it!
