Yes!  Huh, never knew about that.  Very clever.

So I have the following entries - 
File name: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/npgxmlviewer.so
text/xml text/xml xml Yes
File name: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/rpnp.so
audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin RealPlayer Plugin Metafile rpm Yes
File name: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so
application/pdf Portable Document Format pdf Yes
File name: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes
application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes

So the plugin for real audio handles the extension "rpm".  But what if
someone is using ram as their extension, as in -

http://141.211.3.159/wuom/miradio.ram

I know this is real audio as I've played it with trplayer.  Any way to
force a plugin to handle a given extension?
