+Recently I have spent some time evaluating the multimedia browser
+plugins available in Debian Lenny, to see which one we should use by
+default in Debian Edu. We need an embedded video playing plugin with
+control buttons to pause or stop the video, and capable of streaming
+all the multimedia content available on the web. The test results and
+notes are available on
+<a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/BrowserMultimedia">the
+Debian wiki</a>. I was surprised how few of the plugins are able to
+fill this need. My personal video player favorite, VLC, has a really
+bad plugin which fail on a lot of the test pages. A lot of the MIME
+types I would expect to work with any free software player (like
+video/ogg), just do not work. And simple formats like the
+audio/x-mplegurl format (m3u playlists), just isn't supported by the
+totem and vlc plugins. I hope the situation will improve soon. No
+wonder sites use the proprietary Adobe flash to play video.
+
+<p>For Lenny, we seem to end up with the mplayer plugin. It seem to
+be the only one fitting our needs. :/
