mplayer/mplayer-plugin question

	What post-installation stuff do I have to do to get
	mplayer-plugin to work with mozilla / firefox?
	(Also, is there a way of getting this windows-player-clone
	to work with links?)

	Here is what's happening:  I have everything installed;
	checking "about plugings:" tells me that everything is
	there.  But when I try to listen to anything windows, 
	the stream seems to load, but there is nosound.  There 
	are no controls.  A right-mouse click brings up a small
	window.  "play" is not checked and clicking on any of the 
	options does no good.  If I click on the full-screen
	option, a small window (entirely black) is displayed.

	I am using ctwm, not gnome or anything with gnome hooks.
	Do I have to use gnome or kde to get the mplayer suite to
	work?  I've poked around and don't see anything very 
	helpful on this port.  Any mplayer wizards out there???

	gary
