I'll put money he's experiencing one of two things.
It's either he's using the Windows QuickTime libaries, which loath to 
hand out access to audio data, or he's using the MPlayer libaries, but 
is playing a newer version QuickTime file. Newer QuickTime files use an 
audio encoding that MPlayer doesn't seem to be able to read (yet), let 
alone a lot of other programs. Apple built a little trick into the 
QuickTime libraries that they often don't hand out audio data either, 
leading to major headaches if you ever want to transcode a QuickTime 
file, or play it on a non-QuickTime player.
