Yes, with version 1.15 it works but only when using ?dl=1. Unfortunately,
this way the file is downloaded and saved inside the epub file, which is
what I do not want. If I wanted to include files in the epub I would save
time and use local files. I'm using external files because I want to stream
the audio and keep the epub file size small.

Now, I need to understand if the streaming doesn't work because of pandoc
or because of dropbox.
Let's try a regular path file on a server, see file attached:

pandoc -o pandoc-server.epub pandoc-server.md

pandoc downloads the file and includes it in the epub. Why?
HTML output does not include external resources by default and you can
include them with option --self-contained. IMO epub output should work the
same. Is it a bug or a design decision?

Thanks
Federico
