Konqueror's html part supports this. It all depends if the installed
media player plugin supports this too.
I happen to maintain a media player plugin (kmplayer) that does support
many of the javascript bindings that MS MediaPlayer and RealPlay plugin
support (however much of these are just dummies, and stays that way until
I found a usage for it).
However this won't help you, because most of the distribution ship the
kaffeine media player that also has a plugin for konqueror. You might
want to contact the kaffeine developers for this.
