I found a bug in the mplayer.py plugin when attempting to play a network 
url which is a playlist.  Mplayer needs a -playlist argument for these 
url's and it wasn't getting it.

An example filename in question is:
http://www.wbur.org/listen/feed/shoutcast.pls

The is_playlist variable wasn't getting set to true because the ext 
variable was getting loaded with:
ext = str(os.path.splitext(filename))
ext=(u'http://www.wbur.org/listen/feed/shoutcast', u'.pls')

I needed to add the following patch to get network playlists to work 
properly.  I'm not a python programmer by any means, so, I don't know if 
this is the best patch to make.
