Link directly to media file?

Hi, this plugin has been great, thanks for that!

I notice the media player uses an audio source URL something like example.com/podcast-player/5581/episode-title.mp3?_=1, rather than the actual URL of the media file as entered in the podcast page. Can this behavior be changed, so the direct media URL is used here instead?

For my particular use case, I’ve run into a problem where my front end static file server is attempting to serve these URLs (as .mp3 is a static file extension) but the plugin requires that these requests be passed through to the Apache backend. The result is that all the audio files are broken, unless I carve out an exception for MP3 files on this one site.

If there’s an option I missed, I’d appreciate a pointer. A hook or filter I can drop in to not rewrite these URLs would be fine too.

Thanks!
