> Ideal would be an URI like podcast://

No, that would be far from ideal, for the same reason that the feed[1] URI scheme was flawed (cooked up by very confused people) from the beginning. And among other things, a podcast:// URI would now mean I can't open the thing in my browser unless my browser vendor adds support and I download the new version.

The file is served over HTTP(S). Just use the http or https URI. Podcast players need to do their part[2] in dealing with them.
