Lincoln: After a day of adding debug statements into Apache::MP3 and CGI.pm I finally tracked down why my streaming was not working. I had listened to http://perl.apache.org/guide/performance.html#PerlSetupEnv_Off which caused $ENV{QUERY_STRING} to not be set which broke CGI.pm.
To save others the agony, you might want to add a note to the Apache::MP3 docs that it requires "PerlSetupEnv on" Alternatively, you might consider rewriting Apache::MP3 to use Apache::Request instead of CGI.pm (though I understand you may have a fondness for the latter). I've included a patch to convert Apache::MP3 to use Apache::Request for parameters. More work would be required to convert the other uses of CGI.pm, but if you'd like, I'd be willing to tackle that, too, as it would be nice to not require the large size of CGI.pm.
