[Bug 276718] [NEW] Always uses Totem to play m3u files instead of user-set program

[Jan Newmarch]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Trying to open an m3u file which contains funny WMA files that cannot be
(currently) handled by Totem/mplayer/...  but can be handled by
RealPlayer. No entry for  m3u in about:plugins.  In mimeTypes.rdf the
"FileExtensions=m3u" lists the description as "MP3 audio (streamed)".
In Firefox preferences I changed "MP3 audio (streamed)" to "Use
/opt/real/RealPlayer (default)" after installing RealPlay and letting it
install Mozilla preferences. In about:plugins Totem is listed as player
for "MP3 audio", no mention of "(streamed)".

Still uses Totem, not realplayer.

Edited mineTypes.rdf to set 
  <RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:handler:audio/x-mpegurl"
                   NC:alwaysAsk="true"
                   NC:useSystemDefault="false">
 
Clicking on m3u link asked about application to use, including realplayer. Selecting this started Totem again! rrealplayer expected.
