I should have mentioned that I had been using several wav files from 
this same site in this manner, and that some of them worked perfectly, 
others displayed the behavior I described above. The URL I included in 
the previous message was one that consistently did not (apparently) 
download fully. If you get a chance, try several of these URLs from the 
same site and see if this behavior occurs.
