This does not appear to be a JavaScript related bug.

This page fails on FireFox too.  The code appears to try to invoke a method called 'play' on the embed object, and in WebKit we don't appear to provide this property (nor does FireFox).

If I'm understanding this correctly, then if we wish to make this work in WebKit I think we'd need to expose API on the embed element to allow users to control playback.  Of course, an alternative would be to fix the content to support HTML5 audio elements.  As such, it seems possible that this is WONTFIX.

I'm not sure what the right component is for this, I'm going to try Web Audio in the hope that this is appropriate, and if not that it might draw the attention of an audio expert to shuffle it on in the right direction. :o)
