I'm not good enough to tell you why yours isn't working, but I can tell you
that
 yes, asx streaming and direct download work for me in trunk and always
worked in .21. I think it uses Samba to connect to the file (at least on my
Windows box), so perhaps that needs to be set up on your end. But I'm just
guessing - There are others far more knowledgeable that can hopefully chime
in.

BTW, I even had Flash streaming working at one point, although it's a few
extra steps to enable and is 'experimental' AFAIK.
