According to this, this is a bit of a complex issue: Flash (the technology your audio player, and most others on the web currently, is based on) is able to play MPEG-4 content, but only when declaring the content video, not audio. Why this is, I have no idea.

You may be able to play M4A sound files if you can find a Flash video player that suits your needs. Alternatively, consider using HTML 5 Audio.

Update: jPlayer, a jQuery/Flash/HTML5-Based audio player, claims to be able to play MPEG-4 Audio content. You should be able to use that.
