[David Roth Weiss] "BTW, all the great stuff you discovered about FCP time-stamping audio files makes you a techno force to be reckoned with, so I certainly don't doubt your technical chops one bit. I just think you might be assuming that ProRes is less friendly than it really is."
Thanks David. Don't worry, I have a thick skin and am always happy to learn something new :-)
I realized I was quoting my info based on Apple's system requirements page for ProRes. But that was for
HD playback, so yeah, SD ProRes on non Intel hardware is a different can of worms.
But that being said, this post by Gary Adcock seems to suggest that there are quality losses when playing ProRes on non Intel hardware:

Whereas, I'm pretty sure that isn't the case with uncompressed 10 bit material.
