Here's an answer- don't! I often surf with CDs playing in my disk
drive, or else MP3's playing on my computer, so when people put
soundfiles in the background of pages I'm viewing, it F@CKS ME OFF.
Here is a better suggestion- provide a link to the soundfile you want
people to listen to, and invite them to listen, rather than forcing
them to listen. (you do that the same way you'd make a link to
another page, just direct it to the file or whatever)
Otherwise, it's the internet equivalent of standing next to someone
who is playing their personal stereo so loud that everyone on the
street can hear it.
