Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Ubuntu 9.04
Firefox 3.0.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu1
Movie player, totem 2.25.3-0ubuntu2

What happens
* Link number four at http://www.radionz.co.nz/search?mode=results&queries_all_query=stallman redirects to http://www.radionz.co.nz/__data/assets/audio_item/0008/1699424/sat-20080809-0845-Richard_Stallman_Freedom-m048.asx which should play an interview with Richard Stallman
* A page opens with a media icon and nothing happens. The right click context menu includes "Totem Browser Plugin 2.25.3 - Browser Plugin using GStreamer 0.10.22"
* 'Open with "Movie player" ' complains "An error occurred /r Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file."

What should happen:
* If Ubuntu can play the supplied file, then it should 'just work'.
* If Ubuntu can't play the supplied file it should explain why.

In Ubuntu 9.04 these streams also fail:

* http://launchpadlibrarian.net/5780054/test.asx The windows just says "stopped". 'Open with Movie Player' reports 'buffering' and then 'playing' but nothing happens.
* http://www.abc.net.au/science/broadband/catalyst/asx/Catalyst16_vortex_hi.asx The windows just says "stopped". 'Open with Movie Player' reports 'buffering' and then 'playing' but nothing happens.

Using cli and mplayer I can download the file at http://www.radionz.co.nz/__data/assets/audio_item/0008/1699424/sat-20080809-0845-Richard_Stallman_Freedom-m048.asx which then plays fine.

$ mplayer -playlist url -dumpfile out.mpg -dumpstream
