Dear bored and friends,
  As a followup, since I am making little progress on getting mplayer
  plugins working with the current kernel, is there an alternate way to
  get all the windows media to play in firfox or mozilla without using
  mplayer? Gxine does not seem to include all the codecs. In the simplest
  possible terms, since mplayer is not going to work for the foreseeable
  future as the embedded player, how can we use either gstreamer or gxine
  to do all the things that mplayer used to do, to wit, get all the
  windows multimedia working(except for shockwave :-( ) 

Very best,

Martin
