Progressive download (i.e., play-while-downloading) of WAVs works on machine A
and does not work on machine B.

Machine A configuration:
WMP: 9.00.00.2980
MSIE: 6.0.2800.1106
WIN: Version 5.0 (build 2195; Service Pack 4)
( "Windows 2000")

Machine B configuration:
WMP: 10.00.00.3646
MSIE: 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519
WIN: Version 5.1 (build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519 : Service Pack 2)
("Windows XP")

On machine B, the entire file is downloaded before playback starts.
Media player is embedded as an ActiveX component in a web page.
The WAV file is generated by a HTTP server running on machine A, it
contains PCM data (wFormatTag=1) and is sent as "Content-Type: audio/x-wav".

WMP10 SDK page lists WAV among the formats which "can be downloaded and
played simultaneously".

Any idea what the reason of this problem could be?
Thanks for any help!

I also tried de- and re-associating the WAV filetype with WMP,
but it didn't help.

I even tried to de-associate the WAV filetype, reboot the computer,
then associate it again, and reboot....didn't help either

Associations won't affect an embedded type. Embedded types are forced by
the very embedding to be handled by a specific player.
