1st: how do you know if it is an mp3 file? dot mp3 doesn't mean mp3 format.

On what? Computer? If so, what OS? What player?

Did you ask the interviewer all this?

For second scenario:
1) Volume muted?
2) Does another mp3 plays with sound?
3) Does playing the mp3 with some other player gives audio?
4) Play it on another system with same player/other player
5) Does file contents suggest audio not available? [Looks for tools]

We need to understand the double clicking requirements:

Questions to ask the interviewer:
1. What should be the minimum speed?
2. What should be the acceptable distance traveled between the two clicks?
3. Are more than 2 clicks considered double clicks?

Check if the user activity when it is not launching falls in the above criteria.
Check the actual number of clicks happening using some tool. This does include checking whether mouse is hooked properly.

Does the program allow multiple instances? An instance could already be open.
Does the program take a long time to launch. So on a clean machine, wait for a long time after double clicking. If this is the case, does double clicking on the same file while the program is launching causes problem?

Security issues
Memory issues
File type association in OS could be broken

Guys the same question was asked by me as well in amazon interview. Whatever till now we all have mentioned here is not sufficient. What I have analysed, while answering these type of question do not give generalized statements. It should be more technical, related to performance, mime type, compatibility etc
