And of course now there's upcoming HTML 5

and seems promising (yet if no hosting site will support it it'll
probably prove rather unsuccessful).
A few of the online video sites have implemented it already, but at least
on my old laptop, it's even more CPU-intensive than Flash for video. For
audio (oggs) it seems fine, though.
I haven't really gone any further than the social networking sites and a
directory full of mp3s to share my music, but Facebook's little embedded
flash music player seems to work fine. When my friends play something I
put up, it just buffers and plays the song from whatever url I put in. I
have the Flashblock extension turned on in Firefox, so I only see the Flash
applets I know I want to see.
