this is where you will have to select totem if it is not shown by using
"use other" in selection window. see below.

it may not be a "complete" choice.

on system that has both;

   what happens if you select totem to play wav files?

   what happens if you select mozplugger to play wav files?

when window opens to play file, what program name is shown in window title?

and that is how you enable 'totem'.

totem is a 'plugin' it is actually located under;

   /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

ok. presuming that you do in fact have what you believe you do, you can
verify that you have all of what you should have.

look in your firefox profile directory and open "pluginreg.dat" with text
editor to see if what it claims is used is shown in what locate finds.

run a find for 'totem'.

use "locate totem|less" to see what you have under lib files.


mozplugger is not available for this linux install and at this time i
do not see need to compile source for it.

i have looked at;

  http://mozplugger.mozdev.org/

from what i read and interpret it, i am not sure, tho it maybe that,
mozplugger may not be in what you should see in 'applications' for wav
files, but what is used to play/view files should be.. i may be in error
of how i understand it.

also, check what is shown in link;

  http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger.html

> I'm fairly certain it is.

i stand corrected. i was going by what is available thru firefox add-ons
page. 'mozplugger' is for linux only and would not be listed.
