Player doesn't play complete file

[Devin Asay]

Forgive me if this is has already been discussed; I don't remember 
reading about it.

Recipe:
1. Create a player object.
2. Set the fileName prop to a URL with a QT compatible audio format. In 
this case I used 
"http://www.auburn.edu/forlang/russian/audio/norvegiya.wav".
3. Play the sound.

The sound file appears not to download fully. The download indicator in 
the controller bar does not fill completely, and the sound plays to the 
point indicated as having downloaded, then stops. This happens 
consistently, even if I reload. Setting the alwaysBuffer prop to true 
or false makes no difference.

If I use
   play URl "http://www.auburn.edu/forlang/russian/audio/norvegiya.wav"
it works perfectly, but of course if I do this I'm limited to using 
only uncompressed audio.

Has anyone else encountered this apparent problem with player objects?
