Put the lines 

application/x-mplayer2: *: MS Multimedia
ignore_errors maxaspect swallow(MPlayer): mplayer "$file"

at the bottom of your /etc/pluggerrc.

I did things a little bit different myself, because I've come across webtv 
with several streams with different bitrates listed in the .asx file. 
(Sometimes some or all the streams are missing also.) I'm using mplayer, 
plugger and a small perl-script, which with the help of mplayer tests the all 
streams and chooses the one best suited to you bandwith. It is something I 
wrote up in about one hour with a really bad hangover, so I cannot guarantee 
that it will work for you. Description at:
