Choosing which media player plays online web audio links

I hate the Google Reader app for podcasts, so I'm using the web browser to manage my Reader subscriptions.

The problem is that when I open a link to an mp3 podcast from the internet browser, I get the option to play online or download to sd card.

If I choose play online I get an option to play with Opera browser (even if I'm using the default browser!) or Streaming Media Player.

Opera is no use; it just downloads the audio file.

The Streaming Media Player is useless because you can't minimise and carry on listening. Even going into the settings stops playback.

I have Mortplayer installed but it's not offered as an option.

Is there a way to force these web links to open in Mortplayer?

Or is there another audio player that I can install on the SD (i.e. not winamp!) that can do the same?

I have a Wildfire S if that makes a difference.

Thank you :)
