I take it this isn't possible? I have to download them and play them locally?

No, you can play them embedded. Use mplayerplug-in (in portage), and make sure mplayer is compiled with the necessary USE flags (aac, win32codecs).

Awesome.
However, I'm on an AMD64. I tend to use the 32-bit browser more often. I found this site http://sh.nu/mplayer/ which has some info on how to emerge the 32-bit binary version of the browser via a portage overlay, but I can't quite figure out how the instructions. I was able to get through the first wget but after that I don't really understand it.
