Embed volume control

Question

Using embed to embed music might sound oldschool, but I don't have any other choice (any method used now doesn't accept my files).

<embed hidden="true" volume="10" src="/app/upload/1287860161768038.mp3" />

Music starts to play, but volume is always 100% (not 10 like here). I don't know how to repair it, suggestions?

Answer 1

It appears from something that I just read, that if you want to set the Audio Volume to 10%, then the correct 'amount' would be 0.10

Answer 2

The player that is going to be used will be whatever player is installed on the system to handle mp3 content so results may be a bit random.

Yahoo and several others have javascripts that make embedding mp3 a lot easier, you don't need to go through the troubles of having the right plugins installed.

Type= can be used to control which player and which controls

TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" would normally be Windows Media player

TYPE="audio/mpeg" would normally be quicktime.

Using a script removes these browser vs browser headaches.
