Read audio file from php

Question

I am using this code in jw player to play audio.

<script type='text/javascript'>
jwplayer('player_1234').setup({
   file: 'http://localhost/media.php?media_id=1822',
   type: 'm4a', 
   width: '100%',
   plugins: {},
   aspectratio: '16:9',
  fallback: 'false',
   primary: jwplayer.utils.isChrome() ? "html5" : "html5"
   });
</script>

Here, media.php file returns the the proper content-type audio header() using readfile().

Media.php works fine when i directly enter in browser.

But jw player gives this error message "Cannot read property 'sources' of undefined" when page is loaded. How can I fix this error?

This is called spreaming. Problem is that the file is not being streamed, but it has to be downloaded first. — m1k1o, Jul 29 '14 at 11:55

@Ethan JWPlayer Can you guess what could be the problem?Video is playing fine in this case but audio is not. — Rex Rex, Jul 30 '14 at 06:37
My guess is that either the audio file is not encoded properly, or the mime type is wrong. However, I can't know for sure without seeing this in action. — emaxsaun, Jul 30 '14 at 14:49

This is worked when type is changed to mp4 instead of m4a

<script type='text/javascript'>
jwplayer('player_1234').setup({
   file: 'http://localhost/media.php?media_id=1822',
   type: 'mp4', 
   width: '100%',
   plugins: {},
   aspectratio: '16:9',
  fallback: 'false',
   primary: jwplayer.utils.isChrome() ? "html5" : "html5"
   });
</script>
