I don't think these work on Linux either.

The question you should be posing back to the producers is if they plan on
producing a Wine compatible version or a Mac specific version.

Also, some of these programs install unfavorable software (aka spy-ware).

If those use DRM none of it will work on Wine or Mac. If they don't use DRM,
then why do you need Wine? Use mplayer.

can i view live streams from the internet too with the mplayer or would i need
other software?

Mplayer is just one many many media players. It just natively supports most
win32 codecs.
