send a header?

Even sending a header will mean nothing if the browser does not have a plugin it can use to play the file in the browser itself.
Basically unless the browser knows what to do with a file it will attempt to download it.
IE will usually try to get Windows Media Player to play it, unless something else is associated with the type of file.
However this actually has nothing to do with PHP.
A simple link can make the file play if the browser knows what to do with it.

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
