How to play wav in browser without displaying player plugin

Question

Here are the requirements:

1. No flash player
2. Work in all browsers
3. Don't want the end user to see a media player or quicktime player while playing the wav file
4. I want to display a speaker image which allows user to click and the audio will be played
5. The audio is short in several seconds max. and doesn't need stop/pause, etc. controls
6. No pop-up window
7. Not consider HTML5 for now.

Can someone please shed some light on this?

Thanks a lot, Mark

Answer 1

I know that <audio> doesn't accept WAV, only compressed audio in Chrome, so that's out.
