for m3u and other playlists just add -playlist before %%1...

or you can just associate files to mplayer.exe , right click a file and open 
with > browse > mplayer.exe (and check open with by default) then it works fine 
and opens mplayer... 

there is also a program to set mplayer file associations... its in joey's 
packages at http://armory.nicewarrior.org/projects/cygmp/

but you might want to use an mplayer launcher or mplayer gui
found on the related projects page of mplayerhq.hu

for firefox i use media player connectivity extension
which works well. it just fakes that you have the quicktime/real/windows media 
but instead loads the console mplayer :)
