Removing the win check would be the simplest solution. Yeah there's
actually no reason at all to check the platform. We just need to know
if we have a plug-in installed or not. Mac has QT by default. Windows
might, if it's installed.

if IE, use bgsound
if Opera, use embed
if FF & if QT, use embed
if Safari, use embed

That should cover enough bases for now. I don't have access to Debian
for testing. But I think this fix should gracefully degrade for you.

Thomas, can you patch it? I don't know how to make modifications
with Trac/SVN... maybe you can you email me some quicks instructions?
(Mac/
BBEdit preferred or PC/UlraEdit) I looked but I can't find any!

Later we should fall back on Window Media, Real, WinAmp, VLC, etc. I
need to find out which loads and plays audio the quickest and create a
list of plugins ordered by preference.
