How can the built in media player (MP3 etc.) be disabled in Firefox for Android?

I am trying to figure out how to disable the media player so that media files get downloaded for playback later using my preferred Android media player. In my search for a solution I found the about:config method for the desktop version of Firefox but settings don't appear to be implemented in the Android version at this time. I'm on a rooted phone so command line / config file hacking is an option if that's what it takes.

Try toggling the preference stagefright.disabled which is mentioned in this article: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/11/h264-video-in-firefox-for-android/. Does that work?

The good news is it did stop the built-in media player from starting up, the bad news is that the mp3 did not download (i.e. Firefox appears to have decided to do nothing upon clicking the link)

Do you have any download or save options on the long-press menu? Occasionally I get an option to use the ES Downloader (I think this tagged along with my ES file viewer app.)

Unfortunately not as it's a redirect link for a podcast (see: http://twit.tv/show/this-week-in-tech/407 for example the audio link takes you to http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/aolradio.podcast.aol.com/twit/twit0407.mp3 ) Since this is how they get paid for their content, I'd rather not try to bypass it if I can help it. What I'd really like is behavior Firefox (on the desktop, at least) used to have: click the link and it treats it as an unknown file and just downloads it.
