Answer 1

You need to handle events via JavaScript. Refer is-there-a-documented-javascript-api-for-windows-media-player

Personally I recommend Yahoo Media Player. Windows Media Player might not work on all platforms. Prefer a flash based player. You might need to convert wma to mp3.

Answer 2

You have to use JavaScript to play the sound by clicking on a button.

  <script>
  function EvalSound(soundobj) {
    var thissound= eval("document."+soundobj);
    thissound.Play();
  }
  </script>

  <embed src="success.wav" autostart=false width=0 height=0 name="sound1"
  enablejavascript="true">

Here are examples of a link, an image and a button calling the function.

  <a href="#" onMouseClick="EvalSound('sound1')">Click here</A>
