Unless I'm missing something, the sound samples only require Windows Media Player, which is also available for the Mac. See http://microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/

No, you are missing something -- the sheer delight of Microsoft's half-assed port of Windows Media Player for Mac, which is unable to play back 90% of all Windows Media files you find on the web (even if you know the kludge about manually copying and pasting the link into the player). And it looks like all Mac development of WMP has been stopped. Using Windows Media files on a website is effectively the same as giving a big hearty "bugger off" to Mac users.
