And here's another thing I don't understand
I have in operaprefs.ini
audio/mp3=7,xterm -e mplayer,,,mp3,|
and
audio/x-mpegurl=7,xterm -e mplayer -playlist,,,m3u,|

This means open with xterm -e mplayer [-playlist] and pass directly the
url to the applications (7).
When I clic on a mp3 file it opens a dialog box asking if I want to
download the file or open it or .... If I choose open, the file is
opened with the correct application, and the url is passed directly to
the application (good)
When I clic on a m3u playlist opera does the same thing except that it
opens the file without showing the dialog box.

Obviously it's not linked with -playlist word. I also tried with other
filetypes avi, ...
video/x-msvideo=7,xterm -e mplayer,,,avi,|
and obtains the same result as with m3u.

Why is there a difference only with mp3 files?
In fact I prefer the way mp3 files are handled here.
