I don't really know how to do that, nor how to make the browser start
xmms without arguments (thanks for the suggestion Boris). Hell, I can't
even find where the mime-type command is set! 

Gnome has become so "friendly" to the user that all underlying
configuration is just impossible to find... 

However, I doubt that it's a browser configuration thing, since the
single song m3u files work properly...

Same theme, only sorted correctly in Epiphany and incorrectly in
Firefox...

By the way, thanks a lot for the attention and the effort. I really
appreciate it.
