audo/x-mod files play locally but not over http

[dn]

Binary package hint: totem

On Hardy, playing a .m3u playlist full of .xm files results in Totem prompting to "Search for a suitable codec", which it can't find ("no matching application available"; "playback of this movie requires a Module Music Format (MOD) decoder plugin which is not installed"). But if I download the individual .xm files and open them, Totem plays them just great. Playing a .m3u with an mp3 in it works great, too.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:

 * Is this reproducible?
 * If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

 This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

1. Download a .m3u playlist that points to streaming media files in the .xm (FastTracker 2 [1]) format.
2. Open it in Totem.

It will try to play the first file, and fail. Double-clicking on any individual file will also fail.

I'll attach the particular playlist I experienced this on. (.xm files are admittedly rare).

Confirmed.

The following does not work:
