there is a project called 'plugger' which does something like that...

it enables mozilla for example to play movies thru mplayer...

haven't tested it..

That's life for you, said McDunn.  Someone always waiting for someone 
who never comes home.  Always someone loving something more than that 
thing loves them.  And after awhile you want to destroy whatever 
that thing is, so it can't hurt you no more.
