I did a clean install of drupal 5.1 on my new lighttpd server.
I installed audio module with views and all. You can see it here: http://radio.isg.si
I successfully uploaded two test audio files which i can play/download, but i see no fancy flash player. In other words, the songs are played by Safari/Browser not by flash player.

I think flash player should be enabled and working out of the box. If i'm correct, why it doesn't for me? It might has something to do with lighttpd but i'm not really sure. It's not related to frequency of mp3 files for sure, 'cause i see the warning when it is. :-)

What else i need to write here in order to get some help?

Thank you for your time.

There are a couple things. The audio module needs to know that it's and mp3 or a wav. These are the types the flash players play. To get this information into the node automatically install getID3 and the getID3 module (is bundled with the audio module). This will get the information about the audio file type into the node object.

The second thing to look at is encoding rate of the audio file. The flash players read encoding rates which are multiples of 11.025khz so it could be 11.025, 22.050 or 44.100 khz.

This usually fixes it.

Make sure that you've installed GetID3 into the audio module folder correctly. Get it at http://downloads.sourceforge.net/getid3/getid3-1.7.7.zip

from the installation instructions:
Extract the GetID3 archive into the modules/audio/getid3 directory. When you're finished the directory structure should look something like:

drupal/
          modules/
            audio/
              getid3/
                readme.txt
                [...]
                getid3/
                  getid3.php
                  write.php

The bitrate is vital as well - I spent a long time trying to get mp3s recorded on an iPod with an iMic to play in Audio module, but they were recorded at 8,000kHz and no errors were thrown: the flash player simply didn't display. Perhaps that's your trouble, as mfer suggests?

@schwa:
I already did.

@mfer:
I know that already. Thanky you anyway.

@VeryMisunderstood:
That's it. I feel so stupid. :-)

Sorry for wasting your time.

Strange, the 1pixelout player should be on by default.

no player is set as a default. At least in any version I've installed.
