mplayer should be able to play these with the -playlist switch. kmplayer would 
need to do some parsing/guessing itself to call mplayer with that parameter. I 
cannot test it right now, but I think it should be able to do that - at least 
the kmplayer-kpart usually works quite well on embedded real media in konqueror.
