sound problem with player and http:// (was: grabbing audio from web..)

[Curtis Ford]

Thanks, Sivakatirswami, the "http://" URL may be the issue here too. I 
sent the same tester a copy of the mp3 and a modified text file that 
points to the same audio, same cue points, but with the audio file 
local on his machine, in the same place as the text file. The audio 
then worked fine.

..which leaves the problem of playing audio remotely on XP. Is there 
another way to do that, besides the almost-but-not-quite-reliable 
player method?
