I did follow the thread. I was responding specifically to your one post
and statement.
Now. A simple link to a new page that uses some combination of OBJECT,
BGSOUND, and/or EMBED will probably do what you want. Not a good
practice for various reasons. You can Google those key words and read why.
I am like many (perhaps most) people in despising Web pages that
automatically (and surprisingly) play sounds. I think it's fine to
offer sound to visitors (I do on my site) but it is preferable to
clearly indicate such links and have the event only happen by the user
making a positive choice to hear the sound. Just my 3.5 cents (adjusted
for inflation). But I agree: it's your site and your design choice.
