Yes, but that doesn't address the gstreamer issue. As far as I know 
unless something has changed.  I suppose I could bite the bullet and get 
used to building form source.  But I was hopeful with the excellent work 
being done in sprints by the team that a 64bit Linux client might have 
been addressed.
