It would be a genial idea to see whether Audi would agree to sponsor the gnash project.
Yep, Flash being proprietary, Macromedia has the right to choose not to bother to release 64 bit or PPC linux versions of flash 9. For guys like at Audi and you too perhaps, viewer of this post, who work in a large Co. and use satisfactorily free and open source software, please get your company involved and support a free project that will benefit you and your Co. (GNASH, DIA, etc...) with your money and voice. Just like Co. invest every day in project X for US$Y for an expected ROI of Z%, why not apply the same thinking to the sponsoring of open source projects.
More and more products originating from your design projects will go as flash movies on the web (like youtube). That means no possibility to get a flash rendering on these newly deployed 64 bit linux machines (and that's not linux fault, but still that will be linux fault because the things can't open flash)
