mozplugger (was Re: gcjwebplugin: Update)

OK... Getting the same results sets the baseline.

What's going on is we are missing a codec.  How do I know that? When the
plugin launches mplayer, you can use 'ps -ef' to capture the actual
command line for mplayer.  Once you have that in hand, run it in a shell
so you can see what mplayer is complaining about.
