The troubles with using shell commands in hyperlinks:
1. Only works in the operating system and directory structure where
   you were when you wrote the link;
2. No ability to stop playback, pause, etc, unless you run the
   program as a GUI, which means (horror!) doing something outside 
   Emacs.

In windows VLC works as a shell command, but doesn't work with Bongo.

You're welcome. Are you aware of EMMS, it seems to be Bongo's main rival (I
haven't tried it).
