IMO only those that no sane setup would use for normal http.

Well, the question is when is this needed? If you start mplayer by hand
on an URL you will probably know when it is mms and can use mms://.
If it's used via e.g. mplayer-plugin, IMHO this one should do the
detection stuff - it can use multithreading to speed up detection of
what kind of server it is. Currently MPlayer takes over a second
for every connection attempt it makes, at least for me.
