Marcus- While it is a nice idea, it is not really a feasible for the same reasons a Windows port is not. Freevo use some very Linux idioms. It might be possible to get a fink-ified version of freevo running on a Mac, but do not believe that a full port would really be worth the effort. Just a few of the major projects that would need native Mac versions would be Mplayer, Xine, gstreamer ( for 2.0), xmltv, tvtime plus a fewother libraries that would need to be tweaked for Mac idioms. On the other hand, it mught be very possible to use kaa lib to make a native Mac work alike of freevo. I am not sure how much os specific stuff is in kaa ir how well native Mac apps handle being used as clients/backends.
