I've found that some pages launch some sort of built in player, and I haven't found anything to silence those. I recently just saw that WebVisum has a feature to turn off background audio from web pages. I'm not sure if it's any more effective than the options already mentioned here, but you can sign up to use WebVisum and get the Firefox plugin from http://www.webvisum.com/. Once you're running WebVisum, you can use control-f2 to bring up the settings, and if you go into Page Enhancements, you'll see that you can check or unchek the option to silence background audio. I've got this option checked, but I haven't really tried it out much yet myself.
