I'm joining the party late, but ...

1.  Safari 3.0.4 (523.12.2) fired up QuickTime Player 7.4.1 (14), and 
I'm listening to the piano (which is in a different key to what's on 
ABC-FM, so I'll turn it off now).

I can't see where in Safari to check the relevant settings.

Google Maps tells me "To use street view, you need Adobe Flash Player 
version 9 or newer", so maybe I managed to get rid of Flash sometime.

2.  Firefox/3.0.5 (okay, I know, I'm naughty, I'm 0.0.3 or so behind) 
offers a choice of QuickTime or 'Choose App', seemingly ignoring the 
RealOne Player - ah v.9.0.0.228 (only used for playing ABC-FM when 
I'm in Hong Kong).  And choosing QuickTime sets the piano playing 
again.

Streetview fires up fine, so maybe that means I have Flash installed 
in Firefox.  Yes - Prefs/Apps confirms that.  But RTSP is 
specifically pointed at QuickTime, so all is well (for me, and 
presumably therefore for other people who don't muck around down at 
those levels).
