Answer 1

It seems as if your download manager program scans the whole file for URLs that may lead to an MP3 file, and tries to download them.

While this is a very localized problem - not everyone has such a download manager installed - you might be able to circumvent this by simply giving the MP3 file a different file extension - or none at all:

soundFile=mysounds/online

whether your Flash player will accept the missing or incorrect file extension you'd have to try out, but I think it will.

The basic fact that your sound file can be downloaded when you use it in a Flash player this way remains.

Answer 2

If you are using windows you might want to change the file associations for mp3 files.
