So, are you using mozplugger?  You're good at being on top of these
things, so you probably did it, but you have to specify the
mozilla/firefox plugin directory unless you manually moved the
libtotem_mozilla.* files to your plugin directory.  Otherwise, you
might just be getting mozplugger w/totem since it's enabled by
default.

Thanks for the info.  I've been meaning to install xine-libs for a
while now, but I spent so much damn time on gstreamer and mplayer and
all their plugins that I can't find the interest to do it.

I'm gonna take another stab at totem w/ gstreamer and see if I can't
get it to work right.
