This I have found to be particularly troublesome on a linux system because of the conflict between, for instance, the totem plugin and the realplayer plugin. You need the totem plugin (or the xine or mplayer one) to play certain media types that other plugins can't deal with, but most users will want to use (arguably) superior alternatives where available (for instance to handle rtsp streams).
