I'll check it out.

My PC Safari can play it with HTML5, so I'm only seeing the problem in Flash. So far, I can't find any way to make Flash go past 2 seconds, even though it seems to know the clip is longer

When I played the files in 1pixelout it went past the 2 seconds. The code for that flash audio player is available at http://tools.assembla.com/1pixelout/browser/audio-player

Matt,
I've been looking at this again, and I can't seem to find anything in Flash to change. The 1pixelout player is Actionscript 2.0, and MEjs is 3.0 so there might be some differences in Flash. But basically, Flash is just stopping without any notice or report.

Here's the most basic Flash code to play a sound file:

        var sound:Sound = new Sound();
        sound.load(new URLRequest("message.mp3"));
        var sc:SoundChannel = sound.play();

And even that fails, so I think this might be a problem with Flash AS3 processing that file. I even tried adding some code to watch for a premature end and then try to restart it a few milliseconds later, but there are other places in the file where it stops as well.

So, I've got to close one and say it's a bug in Flash. (there's always Silverlight!)

Thanks for your work on this. Oh the joys of flash....
