There is a firefox mplayer plugin, but first use mplayer directly and
make sure that works.  Try playing a simple .wav or .mp3 with sox's
"play" script; if that does not work, the problem is not mplayer.  If
it does, check mplayer output for audio system errors.  Check your
configured audio output plugin in mplayer.conf and .mplayer/conf.
