Progress bar in the browser plugin is wrong most of the time

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Open http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/doc/zynaddsubfx0.ogg in Firefox.

The progress bar starts at 0:00 and reports 0:36 as the end of the audio
file.  That is wrong; the file's length is in reality 2:35.  As it plays
along, the bar reaches its end at 0:36, but the audio continues playing
(with no further movement of the progress bar since it thinks the audio
ended) up to its real end, resulting in the progress bar reporting "2:35 /
0:36".

This does not happen if the URL is reopened (which means the file is
already cached), suggesting a caching problem (my cache setting is 544kB.)

I'm on Gnome-mplayer and Gecko-mediaplayer 0.9.8 on Gentoo AMD64.  Firefox
3.5.3.

This is due to certain media types reporting the wrong length when the file is
partially cached.

I have added extra get_time_length queries into the code to help work around 
this.

Any comments on this?

I don't know, since I'm still at 0.9.8.  I guess I'll find out when a new 
release
appears in portage.

Would be nice if it could be tested prior to the release, so you won't have to 
wait
for another release if it is not fixed.

Live ebuilds would be more than welcome :)
