I thought WINE was i86 only, so it's open whether it will even run on
next generation 64 bit Intel, let alone future models from AMD/SUN
etc. Wabi is apparently kind-of workable, but I really doubt that WINE
will run on the sort of dodgy embedded processors (like game consoles
or hand-held players ;-) that I fear we may end up being reduced to.

Why bother, when FLAC exists (and if you look at the file size
difference it's about the same as the average wastage when burning a
CD... so unless you're using hard disks with optimised filesystems or
DVDs, there are other losses that are at least as important).
