Well instead of downloading the mp3 choose open. Instead of choosing

have mplayerplugin installed. My mp3's tend to go to that. You can also
edit you /etc/mailcap or ~/.mailcap. The firefox can be set to always
perform this with this filetype and the popup dialog will no longer
appear for mp3. You can then change that behavior by going into
firefox's preferences.
I think the problem is that with this mechanism firefox always dl's the
mp3 first before playing it. THe OP wants to stream and at the same time
save.
I believe the mplayer-plugin does what you want. The version I have
still fails a lot (starts to buffer the file then just says "Stopped",
but I can right-click, save and play with gmplayer).

Thanks, Lee. the mplayer plugin works perfetly here ( so far), it plays
files and then offers me a "save as" option when it's downloaded the
whole stream. awesome.
