It will not work, unless your users are not skilled a bit.

I've seen requests for help in this list, for cases where users just tried
to download prograsm .exe? and it worked.

That could probably be fixes with regexp's \/mp3? \.wav? \.mpeg?
which again can be avoided by trying to download .mp3/bulktext
(deny \.mp3/ etc, or join it to \.mp3[?\])...

however people still can download files with extensions you do not
specify (renamed or other types, .ogg for example)

Trying mime types won't help too, because many servers have broken mime
tables.

I'm afraid the only way how to really deny people from downloading such
files, is applying content-filter
