Network streams (mms + rtsp)
   - #2673: Pausing during buffering state (when using mms://) correctly
     pauses, but resuming playback doesn't work. This works ok with RTSP.
   - #2674: Playback of network stream (mms) will stop 6 seconds before
     end of stream. Tested with mms. With an rtsp stream it is ~1 second
     before end of stream.
   - #2675: MacOS X GUI interface will crash every other run (even with
     --no-plugins-cache and --ignore-config).
   - RTSP defaults to udp even when RTCP connection fails. If this
     happens the playback will not have a time display (it will stay:
     00:00:00). Shouldn't this have rolled over to TCP ??
   - #2676: RTSP pause will cause time to display 00:00:00, but
     'correctly' continue time display after unpause.
   - Fullscreen (this is more a policy question). What is the correct
     behaviour when pressing fullscreen during playback of a item:
     1) all subsequent items will also be fullscreen
     2) only current playing item will be fullscreen
   - #2677: MMS pause is not immediate when done for the second time.

Mozilla plugin
   - #2678: Resizing browser plugin display area only works when playback
     is stopped (tested on MacOS X)
   - #2679: Pausing during buffering doesn't work (libvlc bug??).
     Tested with mms and rtsp stream in mozilla browser.
   - #2680: After playback stops (EOF) then time and length keeps the old
     value when pressing play these values are not resetted to 0. Same
     thing happens when switching to another stream while playing one.
     Time is updated when buffering of second stream has finished.
   - MacOSX video doesn't scroll along with the rest of the page, while
     the plugin area moves correctly in the background. Might be related
     to trac ticket #2678.
