If you right-click on an MP3 file and select "Open With...mpg123", mpg123
returns an error of "No such file or directory".

* REPRODUCIBLE: Always

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Right-click on an MP3 file. (I used "horsetamer.mp3".)
2. From the Open With submenu, select "mpg123"

* ACTUAL RESULTS: 

 "THIS SOFTWARE COMES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
file:///home/eli/horsetamer.mp3: No such file or directory"

Reading the man page, it accepts http:// URLs, but doesn't specifically claim to
handle file:/// URLs. 

I'm only able to successfully specify file locations to mpg123 by specifying a
path by Unix command syntax, not via the WWW file URL syntax.

* EXPECTED RESULTS: 

  Per Darin, I get the impression we should give the file path to mpg123 without
using file:/// URLs.

One approach to fixing this is to say "can_open_uris=FALSE" for mpg123.

But we might lose the feature of playing something directly from a web server that way.

Another approach is to have some way of saying "don't try to use URIs for local files". 
We don't want to always do that, because some local file names might look like URIs! 
But it might be OK for cases like this.

Hmm.

I think it might be easier to always pass local files as files rather than URIs,
even though it might be slightly imperfect. It beats being inconsistent I think.

Forgot to give this to rebecka when going over the MIME bugs.

Let's fix this for 1.0.

I'm sorry, but I can still reproduce this at home on the current hourly build,
with mpg123 .59r.

Rebecka, might there be any additional steps that I might have needed to do
(such as deleting a configuration file) to make this work?

Thanks!

Eli: this also fails for me, but not because we don't try to launch mpg123.
Do you get a message saying we can't open the file (the original bug)
or some other error? (I get "/dev/dsp: Device or resource busy")

Yes, sorry for not being more specific. I see the exact same behavior as
originally described in the bug report, on both RH 7.0 (built via Eazel Hacking)
and RH 6.2 (installed via RPMs).

I fixed this.  The problem was a simple bad if statement.

Verified fixed in most recently hourly RPM build on RH 6.2.

While verifying, I filed bug #46663 ("Opening an audio file freezes Nautilus
until playback finished").
