I disagree strongly with your statement--see next. However, I agree
that automatic playing of music is not acceptable when visiting a web page.
For my web site, I am not automatically playing music when the page is
entered. There is a link to a "listen to music" page from the home
page. Once the link is clicked upon, the listen page is shown. In that
page, there are links to select the kind of music to be played. No
click on link, no music. If a link is selected then a popup opens that
should play the music just once. The listener can close the popup and
stop the music at any time by clicking on either the close button or the
close link in the popup.
Embed is the only way that I know how to include music or video in a web
page. If there is another way, please let me know. According to how it
is used, both automatic playing and otherwise requires the statement AFAIK.

I am developing a web site. I found that Chrome -- I downloaded just for
testing -- apparently does not recognize the embed statement in html. While
embed is not standard html, it is how audio and video gets played on a web
site. Firefox, IE, and Opera all recognize embed.
You mean that is how it gets played without any action on the person's part.
It is a shame that people still try to do this kind of thing - no audio or
video should be allowed unless the person browsing the site wants it.
This is a huge feature plus for Chrome.
