My guess is that mplayer's XML parser barfs on the &. ASX is not true
XML, and so while & is valid in ASX it is not valid in XML. So within
mplayer the & needs to be changed to & before being passed to the
XML parser.

I had to do the same kinda workaround in gecko-mediaplayer to parse ASX
playlists using an XML parser.
