It is the same problem on all files. Even local files. I suspect that is a problem with Android 3.2, not ES File Explorer.

So I'll remove ES File Explorer and keep using my "Ghost Commander" file manager for now. It works and has no problem letting me launch applications by opening media files.
I went indeed back from 3.2 to 3.1, 3.2 had too many bugs for me, so i tested ES only with 3.1
