I've got chrome looking in the correct place by setting 
MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped.

This works with firefox, but chrome is looking there, but doesn't seem to 
like the gecko-mediaplayer-xxx.so files.  It seems to just ignore them.  
They don't show up in about:plugins.  OTOH, others do.  For example 
nswrapper_32_64.libflashplayer.so works fine.  Here's what I have:

I know chrome looks at these files, because strace says so.  No error 
messages are displayed in the console.  

This is google-chrome-unstable-6.0.472.0-53024.x86_64

(I figured out MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH by searching the chrome binary)
