I'm trying to set the SeaMonkey default application for this url:

http://media.libsyn.com/media/linuxr...reality099.ogg

It is a podcast by Chess Griffin that gives a good plug for Slackware
and Slackbuilds.

I played the podcast OK like this:

xine -V xshm http://media.libsyn.com/media/linuxr...reality099.ogg

but clicking on the link I found at

http://www.linuxreality.com/

didn't work well. Actually, this raises a bunch of questions, not just
the one I asked above. But let's stick to just the one question for
now.

I'm using Seamonkey. Clicking on the link didn't work well. It opened
the target using xine which is OK, but it did so with poor (scrambled)
video. I think it (xine) was trying to put some artistic mood-pictures
of its own making with the words.

It is annoying when things don't work right, so I tried to find where
SeaMonkey invokes xine. That's where I got really annoyed. I went to
SeaMonkey's "Edit; Preferences...; Navigator; Helper Applications", but
nowhere in that window is xine invoked.

There was one entry for "application/ogg". It was set to invoke
/usr/bin/ogg123 for extension ogg. I removed this application from the
list, but still xine opened. That makes sense, since it wasn't set to
/invoke xine anyway.

Another entry was for "audio/mpeg". It was set to "open using the
default application". There the steam started to come out of my ears
wtf is the "default application"?

OK I would rtfm, but a few minutes looking could not produce any
documentation. Neither in the distribution or on on-line at
www.mozilla.org. I also tried the mozilla.support.seamonkey newsgroup,
but sadly my newsserver doesn't support it (or so it says to me).

I also spent some time googling for

+seamonkey +"default application"

Thus, I've been reduced to asking for your help.

P.S. OK, you might have noticed that I used "-V xshm" above. I edited
my ~/.xine/config to change "#video.driver:auto" to
"video.driver:xshm". Now I an invoke the url from the command line
without "-V xshm", but still it gives scrambled video when I click on
the link in SeaMonkey. What gives? Why isn't ogg123 invoked? Oops, I
said I would stick to just the first question. Anyway, you might be
helped so see what motivated my question.
