Actually, you can't really do this in KDE as of now... if you try and play a video over smb:// it copies the video to a tmp place first, and then plays it, it doesn't stream it

kio is a function of the Qt/KDE enviroment. Its not an application layer that can be added to GTK application. This is a point that many many many people seem to miss. Because Gnome is so badly designed, this kind of functionality is simply not do-able on Gnome, without huge amounts of work touching every important app in Gnome. KDE's overall system design makes this kind of shared functionality native to KDE apps without any work. When working on my KDE app, I didn't have to worry about kio, or dcop, or menu's, or dialog boxes... they were there already. If you create a cool new piece of functionality (like kio or dcop) you can add it to the kdelibs and then every application immediately has access to it. Gnome just does not work like that.
The next version of kde has support for vurtual mounting and so will NOT require coping files to a tmp location.
Oh, and if anyone is interested you can check out kde-apps.org. Someone has made a kio for ipod. Think of that, now every KDE music player immediately gets "play directly from ipod" functionality without having to do any coding for it. KDE rules people.

well there is fuse_kio which allows non-kde apps to use kio. contact the mplayer developers :-)
and there is also the (geeky) kmplayer frontend, which allows you to open any url on the internet and also record the stream.
