The server-side has nothing to do with this. Players exists client-side. Web browsers will typically rely on a plugin to play sound files. For instance on the Mac, QuickTime is the default player for these types of files. Windows will, of course, use Windows Media Player by default.

You should also be aware that supporting audio and video on the web is undergoing a significant change in the transition from HTML 4.01 to HTML5.

HTML5 includes a couple of new tags <audio> and <video>. Several modern browsers (Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox, etc.) already have implemented support for these new tags. Although I'm not sure if everything is completely settled yet.

Also several experiments are underway to support HTML5 video.

This one comes to mind: http://www.youtube.com/html5
