If it isn't IE, you use a non-existent BGSOUND tag and expect it to work?

Whatever does work, of course you have to have it on each page. When you
leave a page, you leave the whole page, audio included.
But if you include it on each page, it'll start from scratch each time
the user goes to a new page.
The real answer is: it annoys users greatly to have sound unexpectedly
coming out of their browsers. How do you know they're not in a cubicle
at the office, or at a meeting, or in a library? Or maybe they're
already listening to music, or watching TV or a movie. How do you think
they'll react to your decision that they should listen to your music
instead?
If you have a neat tune you think they *might* like to listen to, give
them link to click, so they can listen to it in their music player
instead of having it play in the browser.
