How to properly serve a file via a wrapper.

Please help.

I thought I had this squared away, but apparently not.
I need to be able to use a php wrapper to serve a file stored outside
the web root.

Works great for downloads / images - but my wrapper seems broken for
media files to be played.

My wrapper:

http://www.shastaherps.org/bugs/rdb_audio.phps

Demonstration of issue:

What am I missing??

What's the code to your wrapper? If you're using sessions as some form
of validation, you should be aware that media player plugins don't send
full headers to the server when requesting the file, including sessions
headers.
