Peculiar firefox/mplayer problem

Hi,

If I try to visit http://cylinders.library.ucsb.edu/ looking for old Edison cylinder recordings, the cpu load applet of icewm shows 100% load. top indicate this is shared approx 50-50 between firefox and mplayer, which is started by firefox when the page loads. Don't know if there is something wrong with my installation that could cause this, so would appreciate reports on this problem from anyone who is willing to try this URL.

My thanks in advance!

p.s. A great site otherwise, managed to download an MP3 sample, very interesting!

MPlayer-plugin seems to have some issues right now. Try GXine...
