I think that mime.types is actually the "built in" part that Netscape
aludes to in their FAQ.  The mailcap file was the key missing
component for me, and once I added it netscape did the right thing and
did it rather well.  It even asks me if I want to play the MPEG audio
files directly or save them first to disk (to a temp file which it
deletes) first.  This makes it work well with both high-bandwidth and
low-bandwidth links and you don't have to manage the temp files
yourself for things you just want to listen to once and throw away.
[If you do want to save it outright, you can always hold the shift
key down as usual].
