Just to add this though quite late in the day. I just had a very similar problem.

I hosted the jplayer.swf locally, change solution to "flash,html", set OggSupport and nativeSupport to false, and last added wmode set to window, I then only load jplayer if the browser is IE8, otherwise I rely on native browser support for the audio tag.

Code below for the record.

            $("#jquery_jplayer_1").jPlayer({
            ready: function (event) {
                $(this).jPlayer("setMedia", {
                    mp3: audioFile
                });
            },
            swfPath: theme_dir+"/js",
            supplied: "mp3",
            solution: "flash, html",
            oggSupport: false,
            nativeSupport: false,
            wmode: "window"
        });

I update this subject because I found an issue to this problem.

I don't know why but you have to write an absolute link for the m4v link.

  $(this).jPlayer("setMedia", {
   m4v: "video.m4v",
   ogv: "video.ogv",
   webm: "video.webm",
   mp4: "video.mp4"
   }).jPlayer("play");

This code is fine on all browsers except IE8, but if you change :

-> m4v: "video.m4v",

by

-> m4v: "http://absoluteurl.com/folder/video.m4v",

It works ! Weird...

For some reason IE needs play twice. So I used:

$("#JPL").jPlayer("play",0); //to set track to beginning and start playing
$("#JPL").jPlayer("play"); //another line to fix IE stuck issue

Version 2.1 of jPlayer.swf (8.2Kb) doesn't work in IE. You should use version 2.0.0 and set swfPath to the full address. Setting swfPath to the link below solves the problem:

swfPath: "http://www.jplayer.org/2.0.0/js"

this player doesn't work in Safari, either.. try changing your constructor to this:

$("#jquery_jplayer_1").jPlayer({
    ready: function (event) {
        $(this).jPlayer("setMedia", {
            mp3:"http://mactel.com.au/webdesign/music.mp3",
            oga:"http://mactel.com.au/webdesign/music.ogg"

        }).jPlayer("play");
    },
    swfPath: "http://www.jplayer.org/latest/js/Jplayer.swf",
    supplied: "mp3, oga",
    wmode: "window"
});
