I am trying to play an audio stream from the web that requires a Windows Media plugin for Firefox. I have had trouble finding a suitable plugin.
I am running FF v6.02
I have tried installing the mplayer plugin, but it's far out of date.

You need to install gecko-mediaplayer
plugin. But in order to install gecko you must first install gnome-mplayer
.
Make sure that you have the Universe and Multiverse repositories enabled. You can do this by opening Synaptic and clicking "Settings" > "Repositories"
Install gnome-mplayer
Install gecko-mediaplayer
In Firefox, navigate to Add-Ons and the plugin you need will say "Windows Media Player Plug-in". Make sure it is enabled. You should now be able to play Windows Media streams.
