Thanks for your reply tinic.
I agree that my reply was a bit extremist.
I understand it is quite hard to do a multi-platform software that use hardware/system specific things.
May be you should try to think about UNIX philosophy : KIS (Keep it simple) and try to split the flash software in order it could use library for accesing system specific stuff (SDL for the sound and video, ...). I am sure you could find good library with open license.
For asm part, yes there aren't very clean solution to write portable asm. And even if gcc syntax is more portable, it is not the best (some gcc version break things, not clean way to use macro in inlined asm, ...).
Thanks for trying to do great linux version of flash.
