Philip >>> I've just tried to play a video on the page you give the URL 
for, using Ubuntu 7.10 + FF2, and Ubuntu 8.04 with FF2 and FF3.

It plays (video and sound) for about a minute with 7.10 + FF2.  Then it 
stops, as if buffering, but it has actually hung and does not restart.

I could hear the sound for under a minute in 8.04 + FF3, but no video. 
FF3 then simply terminated.

My media stuff is set up (apologies to RMS, though!) according to the 
excellent HowTo at

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683

Using this configuration, I have been able to play all types of media 
and streams without any difficulty - apart from the URL you sent.  This 
leads me to be suspicious about the stream you're trying to use.
