I'm still having problems with audio/video plugins.
When I go to the Bloomberg page:
http://www.bloomberg.com/ and click on
the radio icon, I get the message:

"Totem could not play mms [Etc.] you don't have the
'Windows Media Audio Voice' codec".

The radio icon in the Bloomberg page works fine here, using Iceape
1.1.11 in Lenny, and totem-mozilla 2.22.2.4, which is the Totem
Mozilla plugin.

Judging from 'Help > About Plug-ins' in Iceape, the Windows Media
codecs are provided by libtotem-gmp-plugin.so, which is part of
totem-mozilla.

You could check the following:

This libtotem-gmp-plugin.so is located in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins,
... but ...
it is a softlink to /usr/lib/totem/default/libtotem-gmp-plugin.so
... but ...
/usr/lib/totem/default is a softlink to /etc/alternatives/totem-default.dir
... but ...
this is a softlink to /usr/lib/totem/xine,
where, finally, libtotem-gmp-plugin.so is located.


BTW, if all else fails, I'd suggest to try the kaffeine plugin by
installing kaffeine-mozilla, or the mplayer plugin by installing
mozilla-mplayer.
