          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows 7

A patch to fix this problem

On a Windows PC without FF, install the MS WMP NPAPI plugin (http://port25.technet.com/pages/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download.aspx).
Now open e.g. with Qt Demo Browser an html page with a WMP embed element (e.g. http://jsbin.com/unulu3): 
the WMP control is not instantiated!

Analysis:
the plugin (np-mswmp.dll) is installed in \PFiles\Plugins in case Firefox is not installed on the PC.

QtWebKit should use the appropriate registry key for its search path:
Find WMP plugin location in "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Installer\\UserData\\<SID>\\Components\\623431047B6C08F4F8DCBDEEB40F8C32".
