Interesting. Maybe the Gnome integration people can build a gstreamer

Not that I'm holding my breath for office documents with embedded soundtracks ;)

Looks like mozilla doesn't know about the CLASSPATH (it's not a global
variable, but depends on the shell you're in).
Maybe you set that classpath variable in the mozilla start script or
the launcher.

I don't think Fedora will be integrating JMF since it's not open
source and not freely distributable.
