I have tested the "- Add support for midi files" part of the Web browser plugin in this package, using the files at http://punk.mididb.com/clash/

Before the update, when I clicked on one of the song links Firefox would prompt me for an action for this filetype, with "Open using movie player" (or words to that effect) selected by default. Acknowledging this would open a new Totem window and the file would begin to play.

After updating to this package from Karmic-proposed, when I click on one of the song links Firefox now opens an embedded Totem player (see attached screenshot), however the file does not play. Clicking the play button has no effect. If I click the up arrow to the right of the volume control and select Open with "Movie Player", a Totem window opens with only a forward slash / in the playlist, and the file does not play. I then selected the "back" button in Firefox, cleared Totem's playlist, closed Totem, selected Places > Recent Documents > Clear Recent Documents > Clear and reopened Totem. I then copied the link location in Firefox and used Totem's Open Location... menu item to open the copied link location - I tested this multiple times and Totem always gives the error "An error occurred Internal data flow error" - this may be a separate bug as I have not really attempted much streaming playback in Totem until now.

Downloading the file to a local drive and using Totem to open it (or double-clicking it's icon in Nautilus) will still make it play back just fine.

Does this fit the definition of a regression? Either way something is not right here, perhaps just a metadata tag or a build problem, or perhaps something deeper.
