Not true.

I haven't seen a single stream on omroep.nl that wasn't playable under Linux,
unless the server at that time was completely overloaded.

The omroep.nl guys are not negative towards Linux at all, I've had some
interesting conversations with them over email that (I think) I even
forwarded to the mplayer-users list.

Check the archives from back when mplayer wouldn't try both port 1755 and 80
when playing a web stream.
