I want to play a sound on my page. developer.netscape.com suggests something in
this form:

<EMBED SRC="beep.wav" HIDDEN=TRUE AUTOSTART=true LOOP=false>

This works fine on IE and NS4, but on NS6 it offers to take the user to a plugin
download page to get a plugin, and that page says that no plugin is available.
That stinks.

mozilla.org shows examples in this form:

<object data="beep.wav" width=0 height=0></object>

This doesn't display a dialog, but it doesn't play the sound, either.

What is the correct notation for making noise on NS6?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
See description.

Actual Results:  No sound.

Expected Results:  Sound.

This works for me :
<embed src="swklinik.mid" width=0 height=0 autostart=true> 
(from www.r-kw.de)

Install a plugin that handles .wav or .mid (quicktime) and Mozilla will play sound
