You can specify the url of a web page or a http handler for the media player and then you put your code to read the media file from DB to send out to the client in the web page/handler.

I don't have any sample code right here in my hand, but you might want to search on the net or write your own as it's simple enough. Basically, you normally use the media file ending with .mp3, .wav ...., to feed the media player, but now you specify a web page, say download.aspx instead (perhaps along with the id of the media file in the query string). Then in the download.aspx file, you just write some code to query the selected media file contents from DB based on the id passed in the query string. You finally write out the binary data to the Response object and that's it.
