I have the same issue, but my "angst ridden teenagers" are baby-boomers in 
their 50's. In the world we dwell in, the web video output of the entire 
organization is WM. People want to see the published work. WM archived files 
are no problem. Far as I know, there is no way to view live streaming WM - 
someone correct me if I'm wrong. Look at the archives of the past 24 hours 
for instrux to get WM working in Fedora - it will get you 90% of the way - 
you will be able to click on WM files on most webpages and play them. If it's 
live streaming though, it won't work. I haven't gotten WM to work yet under 
Wine, but, that has been done - I can't speak to whether that will get you 
the live streams. Someone who has gotten WM under Wine installed may speak up 
- I would be interested to know the answer.
