You were using the proper URL - there's a bug in purl.org's URL
re-writing algorithm. The "official" URL you should be using for the
Media vocabulary is:

http://purl.org/media#

If you are marking up audio, it should be:

http://purl.org/media/audio#

and for video, you should use:

http://purl.org/media/video#

I have been meaning to have a conversation with the PURL team about how
they do URL re-writing for top-level directories. Note that the audio
and video vocabularies resolve just fine, but the top-level media
vocabulary does not. It should be a simple fix to their URL rewriting
rules, so you've prompted me to e-mail them about the issue... thanks :)

I'll send a response out as soon as we figure out the details... but
until then, you should be using:

http://purl.org/media#
