Yes it does.

You can't (in general) expect Windows Media Player to play a 
standards-compliant media stream.  It is horribly 
non-standards-compliant.

>MPlayer reports  "File not found or Invalid Format".

Are you sure that your ".wav" file exists in the same directory as 
the server application?

If you're still having problems, then please point us at an example 
of a file that doesn't work, so we can download and test it for 
ourself.
