rhythmbox cannot play pls files, but it's assigned to open them

[Masoud Abkenar]

I downloaded a file for an internet radio (http://audiostream.tehransit.com/tunein.php/fusions128/playlist.pls). Then I double-clicked on it, hoping to hear the music. Rhythmbox opened, but it started playing some other mp3 file stored on my system, not the radio.

If I open the same pls file by Movie Player (totem), it will play without any problem.

How to reproduce:
1. Download this file: http://audiostream.tehransit.com/tunein.php/fusions128/playlist.pls
2. Double-click on the downloaded file.

What happens:
Rhythmbox opens, but it doesn't play the file.

What should happen:
Some application (Rhythmbox or Movie Player) should open the file and play it.
