Not sure what to tell you, but I just tried one, and I started getting audio
just fine then it stopped and dropped a screen on me that told me that I
needed to download mplayer, even though I was getting the audio just
fine. At least it tries to get me set up on Linux, so will give them a big plus
for that, but sort of wish that it would let me test what I have instead of
insisting that I download something else...
