Are there any pre-written component-like Silverlight web widgets like there are for Flash?

Flash examples:
XSPF Web Music Player
WordPress Audio Player
FLAMPlayer
Aflax

Clarification: I don't mean controls to use in your IDE to write something custom.
See ALTNET Podcast
I think they use the WordPress Audio Player.

There are tons of controls, silverlight.net is a good place to start. Infragistics and Telerik are making prebuilt controls for Silverlight, other third parties are coming on board as well. I notice most of your examples are audio and video players- I don't think there are any separate controls for that, audio and video playing is baked directly in. Google "silverlight controls" and you should have plenty to try out.

I meant components really. Things you just embed on a page and they give you more capabilities without writing anything custom. Not that I'm against writing anything, but I see this evolution on the Flash-side as important. Especially a project like Aflax, although I'm unsure of its current status.

There sure are.

I have used some from Component One http://www.componentone.com/SuperProducts/StudioSilverlight/

Other companies like Telerik have some good ones too: http://www.telerik.com/products/silverlight.aspx
