It works for me with mimeo and xdg-utils-mimeo (I'm using Chromium with
Awesome WM -- no DE). You have to use ~/.config/mimeo.conf to store your
associations, and to use at least mimeo 2010.11.02 (first version that
integrates my patch to use this file by default).

Here is my mimeo.conf:

-----------------8<-----------------
# Spotify URLs
/usr/local/bin/spotify %U
  ^http://open.spotify.com/
  ^spotify:

# Regular URLs
/usr/bin/chromium
  ^http://
  ^https://
  ^ftp://

# E-mails
/usr/bin/thunderbird -compose
  ^mailto:
-----------------8<-----------------

This is enough to have working Spotify URLs. I guess that for VLC and
MMS streams, you would just need the following:

-----------------8<-----------------
/usr/bin/vlc
  ^mms:
-----------------8<-----------------

To test mimeo, you should first try by running directly "mimeo
mms://my-url" in a shell, then "xdg-open mms://my-url", and finally from
Chromium.

Does such a setup work for you? If it doesn't, could you please post
your mimeo.conf here?
