What I showed you in that test is only the tip of the iceberg. User will
have a choice of lets say 20 sounds to play on the page (i.e. 20 "play"
buttons).

When they click on the button, a new page will open with the sound
embeded (if they chose WAV) or in background mode (if they chose MP3).

No I have not. What you showed me say :
"Linking to the redirector file will cause the associated player
software to start on the client computer"

I wanted something embeded (like for the wav example) but unfortunately
it doesn't seem achivable with MP3.
