Dean,

I'm not sure that this would solve the problem completely as you have
the initial request (prior to the streamed data) to deal with as well.
In svn of gecko-mediaplayer I have solved the problem for the apple.com
site by changing the user-agent in firefox when the QT version of the
plugin is loaded. I have also had to work around this in gnome-mplayer
as well.
