Luke,
the problem is that when you use windows media player, it doesnt send the referring URL, so your htacces (mod_rewrite?) code won't work, because your referring URL is blank.
Another solution, is the one colette mentioned. The trick here though is to change the username and password every 5-10 minutes using a script, you could write one in PHP (or have it done for you). That way if your username/password got handed out, its only good for 10 minutes.
The only final way to do it, is the way we do it, and sorry I can't devulge that yet! It's still experimental, but seems to get around all current problems with the type of security needed here. Of course its also harder to implement.
