Are you trying to do something funny that a proper MIME configuration
would take care of? For example, when your httpd serves up the file
tell it to give a MIME type of something like "audio/mpeg"...then
configure your browser to launch xmms when it receives a file of type
'audio/mpeg'....to be on the safe side, you might want to configure the
browser to also associate .mp3 and such with xmms.
