i think xmms can simply play url's via:

xmms -Q -p <URL>

so the simplest would probably be to use a script like this one:

#!/bin/bash
xmms -Q -p `xclip -o`

and bind it to a window manager keyboard shortcut (you need xclip for
this). Then you can just right click on an url to copy it and then press
the hotkey. The possibilities are endless :)
