Unfortunately, this is not like the tag embed is supposed to work. Please see: http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/embeddedobjects/_EMBED.html[^]. It depends on plug-in, browser-dependent and can suggest plug-in download, but not really playing the audio file right away.

See also this: http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/help/ftopic7098.html[^].

Something similar to what you want is HTML5 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5[^]) tag audio, see, for example, http://www.w3schools.com/html5/tag_audio.asp[^].

Unfortunately, HTML5 is not yet fully supported by any browser, see this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_layout_engines_(HTML5)[^]. Its standardization process by W3C is not yet complete.
