If you place an object / embed inside an HTML5 audio tag - it triggers the install missing plugins bar. This is contra the spec as far as I can tell (content inside the tag should only be rendered if the tag is not suppoted) - I haven't tested with the video tag, I'd imagine the same behaviour (I am on Server Enterprise 2007);
I've tried with variations of the nesting of embed and object and the same problem occurs regardless - I appreciate that the missing plugins toolbar is a nice (but often annoying feature really) but the browser should render alternative content when nested inside object/audio/video tags - Chrome behaves correctly (at least when you nest object inside of audio - not so vica versa) - Safari renders content inside as well as plugin placeholders - Opera seems to implement this properly
Work around - use IE conditional
HTML source example:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<audio controls preload="auto" autobuffer>
<source src="http://libsyn.com/media/jakeludington/mediablab_laptopsecurity.mp3" />
<source src="http://www.w3schools.com/html5/horse.ogg"/>
<source src="http://libsyn.com/media/jakeludington/mediablab_laptopsecurity.mp3" />
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="http://libsyn.com/media/jakeludington/mediablab_laptopsecurity.mp3" name="MediaPlayer">
<object id="MediaPlayer" height=46 classid="CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112">
<param name="filename" value="http://libsyn.com/media/jakeludington/mediablab_laptopsecurity.mp3">
<param name="Showcontrols" value="True">
<param name="autoStart" value="True">
</object>
</embed>
</audio>
</body>
</html>

This is a pure UI issue, not a core issue. I believe the spec says that in this situation the content inside the <audio> shouldn't get CSS boxes, but it _does_ get its normal DOM behavior. So it's in the DOM. What the UI wants to do with that is up to it.

Sorry it is a ui issue but spec says:
Content may be provided inside the audio element.
****
User agents should not show this content to the user;
****
it is intended for older Web browsers which do not support audio, so that legacy audio plugins can be tried, or to show text to the users of these older browsers informing them of how to access the audio contents.

We no longer have an "install missing plugins" infobar so this must be working now.
