Robert,
You need a player at present. A url to a page with a player is a direct link from the user’s point of view. If you do not want to install a player on your web server, take a look at Flash Media Playback, which generates embed code you can just copy to a web page on your server.

That is what I was thinking. Thank you for the info.
