I have /etc/gnump3d/mime.types symlinked to /etc/mime.types, is there 
any problem with that? I ask because my system's mime.type is about 1KB 
bigger tant gnump3d's.

It's working almost perfectly, and I say almost because it is working in 
VLC under windows and xmms under linux, but not under winamp...¿? Winamp 
does play gnump3d's mp3 streams even when they are downsampled so why 
wouldn't it play these? I've tried using

audio/mpeg                                   mpga mpega mp2 mp3 m4a ape

in /etc/mime.types instead of an audio/x-ape mime.type but still no go...Any 
ideas on this?
