I've created a mini-site. It works well when I test it on my computer using the local files, but the audio doesn't play with it's uploaded to my remote site. The problem occurs on multiple computers, with multiple versions of Firefox, on Windows 7 and OSX Snow Leopard.

Thanks so much for that speedy, helpful response. I had no idea there'd be a server-side problem with Ogg. I'll have a go at fiddling with the MIME info when I get a chance. In the meantime, I'll just have to resort to .WAV files, dammit. The sooner Firefox adopts .m4a audio, the better.
