Comment (by gjdfgh):

 >This is bad, because you can't just tell users they should try "mmsh"
 instead of "http" if "http" happens not to work.

 PS: the fact that links are often playlists containing http URLs makes it
 even worse. Then users have to download the playlist and change the
 protocol prefix manually to mmsh.
