FWIW Tim, it is all working for me right now. Numerous clicks to
actually get to the mplayer, and the video's aspect ratio is squeezed
somewhat, but its working.

Bugga! How are you doing it? Nothing I've tried has worked, beyond
being able to play the sound from a downloaded stream. Windows Vista,
Fedora 7, MSIE, Opera, Firefox, mplayer, vlc, xine, live streaming,
download the stream and try playing the file...

DamnifIknow for sure Tim. This is in FF-2.0.0.11, and my plugins dir is
located in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins with everything else that needs access to
these plugins accessing this, the only subdir in /usr/lib/mozilla, doing so
by symlinking to it, and it looks like this:

As you can see, there are several more symlinks to other things like flash,
java, and RealPlayer.

If there is more to it than this, yelp and tell me where to find the
additional info on this FC6 box.

Does this help?
