Thanks for the info.

I wrote something similar in perl maily because I didn't want to tied
it to any one PC. just make it +x and place it in your cgi-bin dir and
open it in a web browser.

Firefox (windows) seemed to want to install quicktime, and since I
hate QT and RA, I just use IE. Weird for a simpe .wav file.
