You didn't say if this was on Linux or which distro or any possibly 
pertinent info.
What I do with Moz on Linux, say for .mp3 or a music stream, is go to 
shoutcast.com and click on one of the "tune in" buttons and you will get 
a dialog box that asks "what app do you want to open this with" and then 
you have to browse to mplayer executable.   You also have the choice of 
this happening only this time or always when you select this type of 
file.   Very easy if you know the path to the executable.  If you don't 
know the path, I open up an xterm and do a "find mplayer" or "locate 
mplayer" or xmms or whatever app you are looking for.
