There is still a lot of Redmond on the desktops... but the Penguin

I did have the mime type set as audio/x-wav and I can play the file
with Mozilla if I directly load it with a url. I don't think the
OBJECT DATA tag is being recognized Mozilla 1.7. Looked on Mozilla
site. All I could find were lectures about what a bad idea it is to
use sound on a website... not very useful!

Thanks for the reply, Jason. I'm going to keep pluggin'... can't abide
IE watching my Linux boxes. :)
