Either gxine or mplayer will take care of most audio/video formats. Macromedia provides a flash plugin (which you can install with emerge netscape-flash). That covers 95% of the non-pure-html pages out there. This is pretty far off topic, I guess, but my Mozilla Help-Plugins page now shows:

You probably don't need both mplayer and gxine - of the two, I've found gxine integrated better with Mozilla, but doesn't play quite as many formats. As I suspected. Looking at the list I think that mplayer and plugger seem to be doing pretty much 80-90% the same thing, so it would seem I
