You can try something like this:
acl audiovideo url_regex -i "/etc/squid/audiovideo"
acl yahoo url_regex -i ^http:\/\/www\.yahoo\.com\/.*xxx\.rom$
http_access deny audiovideo !yahoo

This denies access to the audio/video extensions (being defined in the
/etc/squid/audiovideo file - you are free to put it even in this very
line in the squid.conf if you like) *except* when asking yahoo. The ACL
conditionals are 'and'ed together. The '!' is a negation.

I don't recommend playing with the "no proxy for" field unless really
necessary. If the problem is your proxy configuration then try to fix
that.
