Hmm. All these work for me. For the backport, I compiled mozilla 1.4,
epiphany 0.9.2 and galeon 1.3.7.20030803 with gcc-2.95 for compatibility
with all the plugins floating around out there. acroread and flash
sometimes max the cpu, but work and don't crash the machine here.
However, with the mozilla 1.3 versions (previously in the
gnome2.2/mozilla-1.3/ directory), acroread did not work in galeon or
epiphany, but did in mozilla. I therefore uploaded the mozilla 1.4
based browsers.
For the plugins I use, I added these lines to sources.list:
deb ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/java/debian/ woody main non-free
deb http://marillat.free.fr stable main
then did:
apt-get install acroread-plugin mplayer-mozilla flashplayer-mozilla
realplayer mplayer-686 w32codecs transcode mplayer-fonts j2re1.3
and everything works. I ended up with these versions:
ii mplayer-686 0.90-woody0.3 The Ultimate Movie Player
For Linux
ii mplayer-mozilla 0.80-woody0.0 Embedded video player for
mozilla
ii flashplayer-mozilla 6.0.79-woody0.0 Macromedia Flash Player
ii realplayer 8.0.9 Real Player (installer)
ii acroread-plugin 5.08-woody0.0 Adobe Acrobat(R) Reader
plugin for mozilla / konqueror
ii j2re1.3 1.3.1.02b-2 Blackdown Java(TM) 2 Runtime
Environment, Standard Edi
If someone knows of a j2re1.4 that works on woody, I'd be interested.
Is it possible it is an esound problem? I did:
dpkg-reconfigure -plow mozilla-browser
and selected esddsp. Modify /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf and have:
ao=sdl:esd
You need to have libsdl1.2debian-esd and esound installed, and sound
enabled in gnome.

Also keep in mind that mplayer-mozilla will try to play realplayer
content, but it doesn't work. I downloaded the source and applied this
patch so mplayer doesn't try to handle realplayer:

Aren't plugins fun? :)

PS-- Also keep in mind that mozilla 1.2 and a gtk1 version of galeon is
in the 'official' gnome2.2/ part of the backport, and all these plugins
work there. The gnome2.2/mozilla-1.3/ is separated for testing (though
like I said, it works here).
