Adobe has just released a 64bit beta of flash 10 for linux:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
And with the latest releases of mplayer/ffmpeg it very rare to having
to resort to binary-only (32bit) codecs. The only times I've had to
use them were some realplayer10 file, and as for wmv the only
unplayable ones I've encountered are the DRM:ed ones and I don't think
they can be played in linux whatsoever.
