Audio player not playing MP3?

I have a really simple audio player designed for a podcast and it loads an MP3 from a remote server. I get the event, the URL is set properly, but when I call audio.Play() it never plays anything... Is it downloading the entire file in order to play it or is it buffering some of it? The file's length is ~25min so waiting for the download is crazy. I figured this would just work like progressive MP4s, but it doesn't seem to. The same URL does work correctly in browser on a desktop and encoding and everything is good.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance.
