[OU] rss page won't display mp3 files (Salon)

[Bessenyei Balázs]

The backend has been improved significatly since 9.2x, also you can set  
the feeds update prefences to never, this way you can manually refresh  
them when needed, the default is 3 hours. Hoppfuly they will extend the  
feed preview to show the links as well. In  one of the upciming versions.
