Ahh.. Windows XP doesn't have Windows Media Foundation.. That is the backend that is able to decode things like MP4 and MP3 in Mozilla based programs. Sorry.

Firefox added support for XP through DirectShow (for a limited number of formats).
Since I no longer support XP, I'm also not giving this kind of thing high priority. However, if there is a way this can be easily implemented based on an existing Mozilla patch, I'll consider it an enhancement to take for the Atom/WinXP version.
