Heh - typo

Hopefully that gets into FC5.
Guessing it will given January release date.

These seem to work in FC4 - and the livna packages for FC4 are here, so perhaps
these should be made available for FC4?

Totem makes such a nice audio player with the libvisual plugin in full screen
mode (would be nicer if it could randomly change the plugin used every X minutes
... and if it came with a pony)

If this could target FC4 at least, then when FC5 ships with 0.10 - the plugins
not in core and not livna bound could be done then.
