AFAIK, the mime is audio/x-pn-realaudio and not audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin. For that
reason -plugin is stripped (I recall the problem with application/x-java-applet-plugin).
If this is a problem for realplay, we could first try w/o stripping it or let
nspluginscanner strip the -plugin extension. I vote for the last option, George?
