Gnash cvs is very promising and very actively developed. There's also
libfad which aims to provide full flash backend using cairo which should
be blazing fast. I wouldn't take this defeatist stance towards free
software, we've come very far in a short time with these technologies.

As for codec support we have GStreamer which supports pretty much any
format under the sun and gnash can take advantage of it.
