 Opening a media file via the Journal uses the following URI:
 file:///home/olpc/.sugar/default/data/$FILENAME

 Neither the reload nor play buttons will play the file again.  This is
 highly counterintuitive for someone who has used a CD or cassette player
 and breaks the UI idiom they most likely expect.

 Of course they can go back to the Journal and reload the file (or choose
 another) but this may leave a copy of Browse running which would affect
 performance.  The right thing would be to have that page refresh to
 file:///media/ or somewhere that links to it.  A logical place would be in
 the olpc library under Media (eg. click here to browse your SD card or USB
 key).

 Alternatively Browse should close at the end of the file as it currently
 can't replay.
