No. The reason is there's no _real_ difference in 'fileserver' and
'webserver' from the PM POV, so this will never happen.
There's no reason to introduce different policies for different use
cases which however imply similar peripherals utilization.
Moreover, I never play MP3s on a fileserver/webserver. The example
you've given is pretty much artificial.
