Not at all.

The server only knows that something on the client has asked for the file.

The server doesn't know if the file is playing or not.

Supposing I type:

wget http://richards_server/some_audio_file.mp3

How does your server tell whether I'm opening the file in an audio
editor, saving it to hard disk, streaming it over internet radio or
playing it on my speakers?
