I think (but I'm not 100% sure) that the problem is with KIOSlaves. When you
access a file using smb:// (or fish:// or ftp:// or http://, etc), the
KIOSlaves wrap around the protocol to allow you to do things like copy,
rename, and open. However, for smb://, since the filesystem is not mounted
on your machine, it actually downloads each file before playing it. I would
bet that if you gave your media players enough time, they would probably
start eventually (after having downloaded the entire file)
The best way to play music over a shared network is to mount the network to a
local mountpoint.
