Scriptaculous - Sound.play problem

[Doug]

Sound.play works perfectly when the url I specify is a link to
the .wav file I wish to play.

However, I need the wav file to be dynamic on the server side. So I
wish to have the url specify a link such as MyGetWav.aspx?file=t.wav

This method appears to be downloaded in the wav file, but the sound is
never played and there are no javascript errors reported.

Using firefox, it appears the headers sent using both methods are the
same, but yet only 1 is played.

If anyone has any ideas, the would be much appreciated. I have a
hunch that I'm either doing something slightly wrong.

Thanks,

Doug

Have you check that your asp script sets the correct content-type
(should be something like "audio/wav") ?
IIRC, there is an attribute or a methode for doing this in the
Response object.

Yes, I've tried "audio/wav" and "audio/x-wav". Neither work. I can
see that it actually downloads the file, but it never gets played.

Thanks for the help.

A while back, I had a server running IIS that for some reason had a bunch of the mime types removed....I don't know if it was IIS defaults, or the server admin before me who'd turned them off, but they were disabled. It'd be worth a look, anyway.

Good suggestion. However, I have verified that the correct mime type
is being received by the browser using Firefox.

Thanks,
