Yeah, the module I posted could be adapted to do that with not too much |
| 11 |
effort. The problem is, though, that it works on the level of whole |
| 12 |
plugins, rather than MIME types: if you have, say, one plugin that |
| 13 |
handles OGG and MP3, and one that handles WMA and MP3, there's no |
| 14 |
reliable way that I know of to choose how to handle MP3, without losing |
| 15 |
either OGG or MP3. That might be acceptable: have a "multimedia" |
| 16 |
category of plugins, and let the user choose the one that handles the |
| 17 |
types that he/she needs, but I'm starting to think that this really |
| 18 |
belongs in the browsers themselves. |
