On edgy with totem-gstreamer I tried to use the wvx files available at http://www.wsa.soton.ac.uk/choosing-wsa/streaming-video/default.asp

There was no player known for this file. I have the necessary codecs for windows media player, so browsing to /usr/bin/totem in firefox caused totem to fire up and it worked fine.

The file is a redirect to a windows media file:

<ASX version = "3.0">
  <ENTRY>
    <REF HREF = "mms://mms.soton.ac.uk/art_fashion/fashion2005_390k.wmv"/>
  </ENTRY>
</ASX>

http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=WVX lists the mime type as video/x-ms-wvx

As totem parses this it should be added to the system mime listings.
