ha mo, Colin Fraser, veshno bhat,

As I understand it, Mozilla is fully javascript compliant, so the same
script rules should apply. I used this script which I think came from
IRT.org, it worked for me then in Netscape, but from memory IE flubbed
it. This should still work but it may require a bit of tweaking.  
try something like:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
var can_play = false;
var mimetype = 'audio/midi';
if (navigator.mimeTypes) {
    if (navigator.mimeTypes[mimetype] != null) {
        if (navigator.mimeTypes[mimetype].enabledPlugin != null) {
            can_play = true;
            document.write('<embed src="sound.mid" hidden=true
loop=false autostart=false>');
        }
    }
}
if (document.all) {
    can_play = true;
    document.write('<embed src="metallica.mid" hidden=true loop=false
autostart=false>');
}
function playSound() {
    if (document.embeds && can_play) {
        if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape')
            document.embeds[0].play();
        else
            document.embeds[0].run();
    }
}
function stopSound() {
    if (document.embeds && can_play)
        document.embeds[0].stop();
}
//--></script>
