When I try to view a page with a RealMedia file in it with Firefox on
Linux Fedora Core 3 the browser closes without warning. This is the code
that displays the video:

<object type='audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin'
id='vid'
width='320'
height='240'
<param name='src' value='sample.rm'>
<param name='AutoStart' value='false'>
</object>

I'm trying to stay away from using an EMBED tag, and the TYPE attribute
which I admit looks strange works with FF on Win XP. I tried
"video/vnd.rn-realvideo" and "application/vnd.rn-realmedia" to no avail.

Is there a way to get it to fail gracefully on Linux?
