Assuming you have the necessary codecs installed, it still doesn't work, 
because Apple checks your "QuickTime"-Version with some piece of 
Javascript. It seems to check the same info you see with 'about:plugins'.

The totem plugin says 7.21 which is too low. Make it something higher, 
like 9.99 to be set forever.

PS: There's no official way to do that. You can either patch and then 
rebuild from source -- or you just modify the binary ... (I admit to 
have done the latter.) But this is all you need. The rest is taken care 
of out of the box.
