I already responded to that concern.
Well, I left that part out for brevity, but that's exactly what I've
done, and it'd work fine if it wasn't for Uncle Bill. IOW, there's a
particular part of my site where a sound clip would be particularly
meaningful, and so I've given the reader the option of turning it on
or off, but every time the reader would do this, he either triggers
that silly dialog box in IE, or with another way I configured things,
IE doesn't even allow the control to work at all!
But yes, I did put an icon on the page which is supposed to give the
reader the option.
