I *swear* I ran into this..  I'm not sure what I changed, but when I
have an alert, it looks like this in the html :

<OBJECT DATA="/argus/nx01-redalert.wav" TYPE="audio/x-wav" HEIGHT=0></OBJECT>


Yeah.. I changed the sound..  :)  I *think* you need to change it from
audio/wav to audio/x-wav ...  Do that and you should be golden. :)
