backports issue with firefox and a mms stream

[Paul Eskello <paul.eskello@gmail.com>]

Hi List,

I'm a satisfied debian lenny user, but in some need of a more recent
firefox/iceweasel then 3.0.6, so I decided to use the 3.5.8 version
from the backports repo.

Great, but my fav radiostream only offers a mms stream. My fresh 3.5.8
doesn't 'interface' with mplayer. I pulled a new plugin-handler from
backports as well, but nada. No mplayer seems available, nor could I
find any solution online.

Copying  the mms streamlink manual to a terminalscreen and starting
mplayer by hand seems the only solution. At that point, I decided to
revert to the y'old 3.0.6, wanting not to screw up many more things
I'm not aware of now.

Is this intentional behaviour of the backport ? Am I doing something
wrong ? Yeah I know I can fetch firefox from their site, but I want to
stick to the repo's.

Regards,
P
