AFAIK, without an extension/resident streaming server running off php, it will only download the file.. now, this doesn't mean the computer has to save it entirely before starting to play it. Both Windows Media and MP3's are set up for partial file playing capability..

Have a look at Darwin Streaming Server - available through the Apple/Quicktime website. QuickTime streaming server is now a paid for product but DSS is the free open source version. Aparently it's cross platform, I set it up on an OSX box though and streaming MP3 worked as advertised. It was like a radio station though. I don't know if it would be possible to set up a PHP song request. Presumably if you worked out which configuration files to re-write and could restart DSS then it might just work.
Although there's probably some *nix mp3 streaming software out there too. Isn't there a mod mp3 thing for apache?
