[Bug 206923] [NEW] Cannot play radio that require Real Player or Windows Media Player

[kushykush]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Firefox fails to tell the user what to do when confronted with a website
that requires use of Real Player or Windows Media Player.  Example, the
very popular C-Span radio site:
http://www.c-span.org/watch/cspanradio.asp?Cat=Series&Code=CSR&ShowVidNum=30&Rot_Cat_CD=&Rot_HT=&Rot_WD=&ShowVidDays=30&ShowVidDesc=&ArchiveDays=30

Does this mean I cannot listen to radio on this and similar site when
using Firefox 3.00 under Ubuntu?
