Great post.  A major misconception or miscategorization is that the decision makers for software is invariably a developer; however, most developers follow specs more than their hearts and minds.  It sucks that developers take the brunt of non-ideal business decisions.

The reason for some issues is the bitrate of the file.  The bitrate is pegged at 2.47Mbps -- much larger than the 640kbps, 320kbps or even lower which streams nicely.

Even with the direct link, I get jaggy playback on my desktop (only because the server makes the file open in WMP or save a WVX playlist).
