You cannot guarantee that it will work on a client system. The task of a
web author is to serve content in an appropriate and correct manner.
Linking to media combined with an option to stream and download does
that.

After that, there are things that can cause problems for the user trying
to use your media. Finding out about potential problems so that you can
offer users assistance in configuring their system correctly requires
testing.

If you don't have the means to test with a range of platforms and
different software and configurations you can ask in a few topical
newsgroups/fora for a test, and if people have difficulties try and find
out what the problem is, or try and replicate their setup. Or you could
explicitly ask the users of your site for feedback.
