[plug] Mpeg card under Linux

[John Knight]

Nope, mpeg only. You can also output other filetypes under Linux with a 
script that turns the file into an mpeg and outputs it on the fly, which is 
cool. You could try some sort of weird method to make X do that, but it'd 
hardly be worth it. :(   Expected statement: Many new videocards include 
TV-Out, so they are worth a shot.

Make lunch, not war.
