Is it possible to configure firefox in such a way that clicking links to
.mp3 and .ogg files causes them to play (prefferably in xmms) as they
are downloaded? A link to a howto would be just dandy.
God Bless,
Brian

i think xmms can simply play url's via:
xmms -Q -p <URL>
so the simplest would probably be to use a script like this one:
#!/bin/bash
xmms -Q -p `xclip -o`
and bind it to a window manager keyboard shortcut (you need xclip for
this). Then you can just right click on an url to copy it and then press
the hotkey. The possibilities are endless :)

Well instead of downloading the mp3 choose open. Instead of choosing
Save. You can select open with. Then pull down the drop menu and choose
other. Then type in /usr/bin/xmms. More that likely if just doing open
with no setting will either already use xmms or it will use mpg123. I
have mplayerplugin installed. My mp3's tend to go to that. You can also
edit you /etc/mailcap or ~/.mailcap. The firefox can be set to always
perform this with this filetype and the popup dialog will no longer
appear for mp3. You can then change that behavior by going into
firefox's preferences.

I think the problem is that with this mechanism firefox always dl's the
mp3 first before playing it. THe OP wants to stream and at the same time
save.

I believe the mplayer-plugin does what you want. The version I have
still fails a lot (starts to buffer the file then just says "Stopped",
but I can right-click, save and play with gmplayer).

Thanks, Lee. the mplayer plugin works perfetly here ( so far), it plays
files and then offers me a "save as" option when it's downloaded the
whole stream. awesome.
