Apple quicktime plugin has registered the audio/x-wav mime type for WAV files.
The quicktime plugin handling of wav files is very, very poor and winamp sounds
much better. Even if after I set 'audio/x-wav' mime type to be handled by
winamp Mozilla gives a message that 'the type can be handled internally and it
will not change it'.
Thus, I am stuck with quicktime doing wav files.
There needs to be a way for the user to have final say on what application
handles types.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install mozilla, and quicktime
2. Go to Edit>Preferences>Helper Apps>"audio/x-wav", change to handle by winamp
3. try downloading a wav file ( dictionary.com if you have an account )
Actual Results:
quicktime plays the wav file
Expected Results:
winamp should play the wav file

if you want to change which plugin handles a certain type, that's bug 19118
if you want to handle a certain type that mozilla could handle internally in an
external app, that's bug 58554
I believe you want the latter, marking so.
