Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: totem

I was trying to watch video from http://www.abc.net.au/vod in WMV
format. However, I always get "Click here to download the appropriate
plugin" message.

Clicking through reveals that the plugin mimetype is "video/x-ms-asf".

Looking at about:plugins shows that Totem Mozilla Plugin can handle
"video/x-ms-asf-plugin", but not "video/x-ms-asf".

Looking in the totem source at totem-mozilla-plugin.cpp:648 shows that
the authors of totem have listed video/x-ms-asf as an alias for video/x
-ms-asf-plugin. Unfortunately for some reason this is not getting
through to firefox.

** Affects: totem (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
