BTW, I suspect it is a setup problem on the reporter's (Michele's) computer. The
audio clip plays on my win32 Mozilla and Phoenix.

But yes, the URL starting with mms: (Microsoft Media Service) cannot be
downloaded. Is it a valid URL, anyway?
This is actually for the reporter a platform issue.  There are known issues with
using MMS protocols on the Mac platform.  See
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/software/macintosh/readme7.asp#mms

Reporter (Michele), I would try the Microsoft workaround suggestion and see if
you can play it then:
"To play content that uses the MMS protocol, start the Player, and on the File
menu, click Open URL, and then type the URL."
If it is a known Mac problem, this is not a bug of Mozilla.

INVALID?
Yeah, going to resolve invalid as the real issue here is Micrsoft vs. Mac (the
eternal struggle).

Still would like to hear from the reporter if the workaround does work, though.
