<p>I can get the captions if I stream the Quicktime file through a link on my webserver, but if I try to stream the file via Darwin Streaming Server, the audio and video come through, but no captions.  The QT browser plugin has no option to enable captions so the caption track just has to come from the server. Or is it the plugin's fault? Any thoughts?  Let me know if more info is needed.</p>
