Quicktime in Linux?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Having Uzbek-2008 (= O'ZMK) installed and the Uzbek audio modul PSA 1- 40.
2. Putting the reference to O'ZMK/PSA 32,shows the loudspeaker. 
3. Clicking on it gives the message: 'To listen to Audio Content, a Quick Time 
plugin must be installed.
4. Checking for this plugin, the following page says:

'Note: QuickTime is not available for the Linux platform, but Mplayer is a 
popular Linux media player that can play back QuickTime media. In order to use 
Mplayer to play QuickTime stream in Firefox, you must install two programs 
named gnome-mplayer and gecko-mediaplayer. Your Linux distribution may have 
these packages readily available to install.
5. I installed gnome-mplayer and gecko-mediaplayer from synaptics in Ubuntu 
11.10, and then searched for info about how to install Mplayer.
6. Searching for 'install mplayer in linux, I came to:
http://kmaiti.blogspot.de/2011/01/how-to-install-video-player-on-linux.html
which is quite a job to do.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
->? Is there any easier way to play audio modules in xs?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
xs 3.4/Linux

Please provide any additional information below.

The QuickTime audio widget required to play audio is not available for Linux. A 
replacement widget is needed which works in both Windows and Linux.
