  Showing my age here, I like oldies music.  An interesting site is
http://www.fun45s.com/ but firefox won't play it for me.  Fortunately
they give the direct stream URL on their homepage.  If I try
http://s7.voscast.com:8376 or http://www.fun45s.com/listen.pls in
firefox, firefox asks for a .pls handler, and I point it to mpg123.  It
doesn't work.  No music.  But if I run mpg123 direcly from the
commandline like so...

mpg123 http://s7.voscast.com:8376

...it works.  Can I set up firefox to handle pls files direcly, or is
there a player that firefox can invoke?
