90570 - 4.x LiveAudio plugin is being picked up in "sweep" but doesn't work

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 89407

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Peter Lubczynski]

This is a regression caused by my checkin to bug 89407.

I think there are two was of fixing this bug:
1)Fix the root cause of LiveAudio not working. This is bug 90558.
2)Backout my changes to bug 89407 or change them so it ONLY includes Quicktime.

I prefer fixing #1 as it may also fix other bugs in plugins, but that work will
need to be done in the cache. Fix #2 is much easier to do. Thinking about #2 a
bit, perhaps we should specifically EXCLUDE LiveAudio, even for bug 90062, as I
think it won't work until #1 is fixed.

LiveAudio? Yuk. It is ugly. Not that I want it working but I agree, we should 
fix the cause of the problem.

BTW, anybody tried QT 5.02 on Windows? npqtplugin4.dll crashes my 4.x on start 
up.

QT 5.02 starts okay for me. Been running with it for a week. What's the stack
like? If this is crashing for you, perhaps we should just back out the whole
patch from bug 89407 rather than trying to get QT 5.02 to work?

It crashes my FOUR_DOT_EKS . Mozilla is fine. So I don't bother much.

Changing the checkin made for bug 89407 won't do any good if bug 90062 is 
implemented unless a provision is made for part of 90062 to specifically 
exclude certain plugins.

Sean, bug 90062 is for the trunk. This is for the branch. Attaching a better patch.

Actually, because this is still really part of bug 89407 and that one has
approval, I'm going to re-open that one.
