This is a wild shot in the dark, but I have seen similar behavior with the flash player where it actually ignores the file name and only relies on the MIME type sent by the server. Any idea what headers are being sent down from example.com? You might want to try wrapping your blah.m4a in a page that can set the headers and then stream the binary data. Give these types a shot and the community would appreciate a confirmation of what works:

audio/mpeg audio/mp4a audio/mp4a-latm audio/aac audio/x-aac
