I don't know to which package this bug applies, most likely xine I think, or 
Kaffeine? 
 
I downloaded the package w32codecs with kynaptic from the marillat repository, 
but it still doesn't seem to work. I checked that all the codecs are placed 
in /usr/lib/win32, Kaffeine's Xine config also says that Xine checks for the 
codecs in that directory, but it still doesn't work. 
  
I used this page to test: http://www.nos.nl/nosjournaal/archief/index.html 
(click "(BB)" to open a windows media stream) I opened the stream, Konqueror 
then asks if I want to play it with Kaffeine, I click yes, then it gives an 
error message saying that there "isn't a plugin to handle this resource". 
  
trailers.apple.com works fine though, so I think that it's only a problem  
with the windows media and real codecs?
