Whoa. This can be done with the mozilla plugin?

There is a long-standing bug that the mozilla plugin doesn't respect
the loop parameter. Also a problem with ALSA, it always chooses OSS.
Also no capability to specify LOOP=NO.

Trivial patches for these problems follows, but I would be interested
in a generic way to change .vlcrc parameters from Javascript.
