please backport mozilla-mplayer 3.55

[Pablo Castellazzi]

mozilla-mplayer 3.55 is available on intrepid. This plugin is one of the few which gives to ubuntu users in browser quicktime support, some new sites require quicktime 7.4+ and the old mozilla-mplayer 3.50 dont support it.

you can use the following url as a test case:

and you can get a copy of my attempt to backport mozilla-mplayer to hardy from my ppa:

Built with prevu, installed and works! Even the quick time support works, I had only to switch output video to "gl" to see the video in the link, because the default output video was nothing...

Ack from ubuntu-backporters.

Sorry, can't backport right now, the backport tool breaks on this for some reason. I'll investigate with the Soyuz guys
