I've used it, and it plays an IBM ad and a trailer for Dark Crystal.
The version I've tried is very unstable though (0.1.1); feed it anything
it doesn't like, and it dies. It's also heavily gnome-based. A friend of
mine couldn't even compile it on his SuSE 6.4 box, while mine went
smoothly. There are binaries for 0.1.3 somewhere, though.
