realvideo on Linux FC3

When I try to view a page with a RealMedia file in it with Firefox on
Linux Fedora Core 3 the browser closes without warning. This is the code
that displays the video:

<object type='audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin'
id='vid'
width='320'
height='240'
<param name='src' value='sample.rm'>
<param name='AutoStart' value='false'>
</object>

I'm trying to stay away from using an EMBED tag, and the TYPE attribute
which I admit looks strange works with FF on Win XP. I tried
"video/vnd.rn-realvideo" and "application/vnd.rn-realmedia" to no avail.

Is there a way to get it to fail gracefully on Linux?

No offence meant: the video must be embedded and I need a way for it to
fail gracefully if the plug-in is not installed. I had a look at the
content at your link but having to nest another tag may not solve it in
my case as I don't get a non-display of content but rather a crash.
