Tim, I have the following installed:

mplayerplug-in-3.31-2.lvn6
mplayer-fonts-1.1-4.lvn6
mplayer-doc-1.0-0.66.rc1.lvn6
mplayer-gui-1.0-0.66.rc1.lvn6
mplayer-1.0-0.66.rc1.lvn6

This allows many formats to play in totem that wouldn't before, but I tried 
the url that Reg had problems with, www.cnn.com, and totem still couldn't 
play that.  IIRC the file that was presented to it ended in .wmv.
