OK, this guy is quick.  He already has packages for 9.3.
Loading them seem to make Windows Media, Quicktime play fine
as a plugin in Firefox.

It even fixes the SuSE 9.3 Realplayer plugin for some reason ...

I downloaded and installed these packages:

   MPlayer-1.0pre7-1_suse93.i586.rpm
   a52dec-0.7.4-1_suse93.i586.rpm
   divx4linux-20030428-1_suse93.i586.rpm
   faad2-2.0-1_suse93.i586.rpm
   faad2-xmms-plugin-2.0-1_suse93.i586.rpm
*  lame-3.96-1_suse93.i586.rpm
** libdvdcss2-1.2.8-1_suse92.i586.rpm
   mplayerplug-in-2.80-1_suse93.i586.rpm
   w32codec-20050412-1_suse93.i586.rpm
   xvid-1.0.3-1_suse93.i586.rpm


* lame is for MP3's, and probably not needed to play videos.

** libdvdcss2 is probably only needed for playing DVD's,
and is available only as a 9.2 RPM.
