op= streaming problems

I just encountered mod_mp3 today, and am testing it
with a single mp3.  It's a great module, kudos to the
developer(s)!

However, I have a few basic questions, hopefully
someone can answer these quickly:

1.  When accessing http://severname:8000, my single
mp3 file streams great.  However, when using the
http://servername:8000/?op=play&song=[MD5 of filename]
syntax, the browser downloads the mp3 first and then
plays it.  What causes this?  I really need to be able
to link to individual mp3 files from my web site.

2.  The FAQ mentions an AddHandler mp3-file *.mp3
entry to enable streaming of files intermixed with
other files.  Does this mean that I should just be
able to place an mp3 anywhere on my site, link to it
with standard syntax (http://servername/filename.mp3)
and it should stream?  It doesn't in my testing, the
player begins playback but is downloading the file in
the background, no actually streaming is occurring.

3.  I'm using the Ensim control panel on my server. 
Ensim records the bandwidth consumption of Apache,
SMTP, POP/IMAP, etc.  I'm hoping that since this is an
Apache module, Ensim will be able to record the
mod_mp3 traffic right along wiht standard http
traffic.  Is this true?  Ensim doesn't use the log
files for bandwidth monitoring, it's using some other
sort of monitoring scheme, I'm not sure what, maybe
SNMP?

TIA!
