Description

I noticed that audacious supports asx1 and asx2 which basically seem to be INI-files.
Would it be possible to add support for asx3 which is XML?
It looks like it was rather easy to parse with a standard XML parser.

I can copy the mms:// link from the following asx file into the "Open URL" field and it works.

It works in Totem, but I don't really understand why. The parsing code in totem-pl-parser-wm.c seems to work for INI-files only, but I'm not an expert.

Which xml parser do you use in audacious? Maybe I can write a snippet that parses the interesting bits ..

Since the "asx" extension is used for both legacy ASX and ASXv3, I had to make some changes in core

I added a new "asx3" plugin [1] based on your pull request [2]. Additionally, I made some changes in core [3] and the old ASX plugin [4] to correctly handle loading and saving ASXv3. It's too late in the release cycle to bring these changes into 3.4 but they will be in 3.5.
