Quicktime with "dynamic" source

Question

This is driving me nuts.
I'm building an HTML application for my iPad, but I can't make it play .wav files which are returned from either a Java servlet or an ASP handler (I'm sure I'm setting the "content-type" correctly - "audio/wav" or "audio/x-wav")
If you set the data source for the object to a static file it works fine e.g. "/foo/bar/baz.wav", but if you set it to a dynamic source e.g. "/foo/bar/GetWav?audioFileId=123" the component just goes into an error state and doesn't play anything.
Does anyone know if this is a formal restriction of the Quicktime tag? Any workarounds?

Hi,
Here's a little sample I put together:
[code]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute" creationComplete="init();">
<mx:DataGrid x="10" y="10" width="233" id="myDG"
change="myDGChangeHandler(event)" dataProvider="{dp}">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Character"
dataField="name"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
<mx:Image scaleContent="false" showBusyCursor="true"
x="10" y="200" width="200" height="300" id="myImg"
source="{imgSrc}"/>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
[Bindable]
private var dp:ArrayCollection;
[Bindable]
private var imgSrc:String;
private function init():void {
var myAry:Array = [
{name:"Homestar Runner", data:"
http://sandbox.mc.edu/~ewilliam/internet_www/Homestar_Runner_logo.jpg"},
{name:"Strong Bad", data:"

{name:"Stinkoman", data:"
http://www.hrwiki.org/images/thumb/8/84/stinkoman.PNG/220px-stinkoman.PNG"}
dp = new ArrayCollection(myAry);
private function myDGChangeHandler(evt:Object):void {
imgSrc = evt.target.selectedItem.data;
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
[/code]
Good luck
