No I didn't set anything. The server does send a mime type in the header, but I'm sure this is just a generic audio/mpeg-2 or something like that. Whatever the vanilla Apache mime header is for mp3s. Certainly not quicktime or any specific product.
On my machine I get the quicktime browser plug-in. It's not an actual stream, but for me I can play it as it downloads (an actual stream has all sorts of negotiations going on between client and server to try to ensure a hiccup free playback - this isn't doing anything like that.) That's what I meant by stream (also, by not right clicking and saving as, it's streaming in the sense that it's not going to be saved to my hard drive except in the sense that I could go into my browser cache and dig it out.)
Can you really not play the track before it is done downloading in the windows quicktime player?
