Except when HTML.5 will run everywhere, there is no way to be sure to 
play sound and less again to play sound charged on the fly.

I used old technique to play sound (in midi files) that worked on 
Netscape, then on "my" Firefox but now that does no more work because of 
plugin QuickTime or maybe errors when uploading the files on the sever 
(sometimes it works locally).

To be "clean" I really think we must use Flash to play sounds.
