I cannot test it right now, but I think it should be able to do that - at least the kmplayer-kpart usually works quite well on embedded real media in konqueror.


		Then which things do i click on, or what strings do
		i add?  i found the "almanac" site, click on "use
		KMplayer", and after several seconds of fumbling,
		kmplayer simply hung up.  it stopped.

		Otherwise [k]mplayer works on any ttype of args.
		...Parsing problem?
