Description:
Hello, mozilla-mplayer plugins does best effort to handle buggy pages
which request a spicified plugin name to work. in about:plugins we can
see that it adds support for:

QuickTime Plug-in 6.0
RealPlayer 9
Windows Media Player Plugin
mplayerplug-in 3.17

Instead the totem plugin only adds a name:
Totem Mozilla Plugin

this is bad for some web pages like this:
http://multimedia.repubblica.it/home/219614
which works using mozilla-mplayer.

Is it possible to add these names to totem plugin?
