Windows 7 (x64)
SeaMonkey 2.22.1
RealPlayer 15.6.0.14
Winamp 5.66

Winamp and RealPlayer do indeed work with a number of the streams I
like, mostly classical music.  Although Winamp does not appear in the
list of plugins with either [Help > About Plugins] or [Tools > Add-ons
Manager > Plugins], I can select a link to a stream and receive the
broadcast.

However, I am having trouble with some live streaming broadcasts.  The
affected (and afflicted) links end with the extension .pls (e.g.,
listen.pls, mp3.pls).  When I select a .pls link, I get an error popup
that says:
> C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\Temp\listen-7.pls could not be opened,
> because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the
> association in your preferences.
The "listen-7.pls" might instead be "mp3-5.pls" for a mp3.pls link.

When I go to [Edit > Preferences > Browser > Helper Applications], I
cannot find an entry for .pls.  I do find an entry for MIME type
audio/x-scpls but not audio/pls, neither of which are registered with
the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (IANA).

How do I create a new Helper Application entry for .pls files?
