Hmmmm,

So, I cannot use wind32codecs with *any* non-binary video program on
amd64, like vlc or mplayer.

But I can used 
media-libs/win32codecs
with a binary, such as 
mplayer-bin....

So  can I use win32codecs with:
seamonkey-bin ?
mozilla-firefox-bin ?
quake4-bin ?


How would one know which binary based multimedia/video/games packages work with
win32codecs?
