Digging around in the HTML source, I find windows Media that gnome/Totem
could have played (if ...), but:

 http://www.sonicftp.com/vids/wmv/soundsexpo04_linuxaudio.wmv

returns

>>The requested URL /vids/wmv/soundsexpo04_linuxaudio.wmv was not found
on this server.

use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

The QuickTime links won't work from the Mac either, which makes believe
that something on that site is totally misconfigured :-(
