Could someone point out how to play wav files from w3m in emacs? I have
a mailcap entry in ~/.mailcap but how to tell w3m in emacs to play file
at the link http:/someplace/file.wav? Hitting enter (w3m-view-this-url)
just opens the file as a binary. e.g the alphabet here:
http://german.about.com/library/anfang/blanfang_abc.htm
Do I need to write a function to save the file and then invoke the mime
handler? I tried to add wav types to w3m-content-type-alist but hitting
enter on a wav file just gave me
"Cannot run two w3m processes simultaneously (Type `C-c C-k' to stop asynchronous process)"
(obviously a general solution would be nice).

I answered my own question - the type was audio/x-wav and not
audio/wav. Silly of me. Not that I understand why its x-wav :-;
Unfortunately it then reloads the page after playing (I use esdplay) and
I have to invoke "p" key (w3m-view-previous-page) to return to
the previous point. I guess there might be a way to wrap this into a
function which invokes the play command for that mime type and then
calls command w3m-view-previous-page afterwards?
