Any of the players you mention will do the job, but I think what is also necessary is to select the player you want for the file you are about to open/play. That is, right-click on the file (in Dolphin, say) go to Properties, left-click on the lill spanner icon and select the application with which the file will be opened the next time you want to play it. I think you *may* also find that some action is already assigned to the file but the one which you want is not shown as the first choice; just highlight your choice and move it up to the first position.
Sorry, I thought it was clear that I didn't want to open the application. In fact, I can play the files from within both browsers, but only by opening the corresponding application. I was hoping there was a way to play the one-word snippets ("da", nyet", etc.) without having the browser open the application. I want to use the decoding libraries, not the applications.

Probably the mplayer plugin is what you are locking for, but this one is right now not allready for 11.2 compiled http://packman.links2linux.de/package/mplayerplug-in/101505/all If you allready on 11.2,or probably in both case, try the xine browser plugin http://packman.links2linux.de/package/xine-browser-plugin/111805/all Greets Michael

The plugin media players that I've noticed are pretty nasty. The buttons usually too big for the widget and you can't see any information and such. I prefer to install sox from Packman and use the "play" command as the associated program. The problem is that you have no way of stopping it or pausing it. It might be a good project to pick up to create a more elegant, simple plugin for sound only. I might look into it. It shouldn't be hard to make a non- ridiculous GUI with a smarter reaction to widget size... maybe using sox as a background. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
