It appears that the VLC route does not work.  Will VLC "play" Flash?  If 
so, does Firefox allow "helper applications" so that VLC would be used 
rather than a Firefox plugin?  This method -- helper applications -- 
used to work, but I have no details on the current implementations with 
regard to the allowed functionalities (e.g., MIME types) as permitted by 
either SL 6 or SL 7.  Presumably, Mozilla Seamonkey has the same issues 
as Firefox.

As for your PS question, a reply probably is more appropriate off-list.
