Using kernel 2.6.11-1.35_FC3smp, all known plugins installed for gxine,
mplayer, helixplayer, xmms, etc.  Contents
of /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/plugins:
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  16635 Aug  2 06:34 gxineplugin.so
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     67 Aug  1 16:14 libjavaplugin_oji.so -
> /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_08/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  16304 Jul 20 11:54 libnullplugin.so

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  40608 Aug  2 06:28 nphelix.so



In Firefox, what I want to do is to be able to click on a file located
on a website with a name like "this_song.ogg" and have Firefox render
streaming sound.

This works fine with .mp3's (using the mplayer plugin) but with an ogg
file, the mplayer plugin displays "buffering" and "playing" while data
flies, but no music is produced.

Am I asking the impossible?  I have searched all over for help on this
problem but nothing that directly addresses a solution.

Thanks!

Brad
