Larry,
Thanks for the quick response. Here are the headers - similar but not the same:

Catalyst

Content-Type: audio/ogg
Last-Modified: Fri, 08 Apr 2011 15:20:31 GMT
Status: 20 0
X-Catalyst: 5.80029

Apache
-----------
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 238400
Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: application/ogg

Best - J
