Plugger is just a wrapper that calls other programs to handle the
multimedia stuff...so you'll need to have a working version of Xanim
or mplayer or one of the others installed to have plugger working.
The problem is that there is no Linux program to view quicktime
movies...due to Apple licensing, etc...
I have come across something called OpenQuicktime, but know nothing
about it
http://openquicktime.sourceforge.net/
I've used and am using Crossover Plugin which lets you install
windows versions of the Quicktime viewer, RealPlayer and Windows
Media Player (and a lot more). It uses Wine to fool the windows stuff
into thinking it's actually running under Windows. It's very easy to
install. The Crossover Plugin you will need to purchase though
there is a demo version available at:

I'm not sure that's "the debian" way but it allows me to view the odd
quicktime or windows media file under linux.
