mplayer-plugin config file errors?

i see in the /etc/mplayer-plugin.conf file entries like this:

# Enable Real Media Support *
#enable-real=[0|1]
enable=1

# Enable Windows Media Support *
#enable-wm=[0|1]
enable=1

maybe that's correct for some reason, but it seemed to me it should say enable-rm=1, enable-wm=1, etc. :?:

as a background/side note: i was trying to stop mplayer-plugin from taking over shoutcast pls streams from xmms, without success. for the moment i've just moved the mplayer-plugin.so file from the mozilla plugins directory, and so far that's working. removing the mime type from the ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat file didn't work, it just got replaced everytime i relaunched the browser, of course. i'm not sure what consquences removing the .so file will have -- so far everything else seems to work -- but if anyone knows a real fix, i'd appreciate it.

***oops, i just noticed, wrong forum. could the mods move it? thx

As for setting what you want to use with shoutcast, can't you do that in Preferences>Downloads>View & Edit Actions in Firefox?  Give that a shot.

no, stupid windoze-mentality kindergarten firefox doesn't allow adding of new mime types or helpers. you can only remove or change existing ones.
