No, unfortunately I didn't even get that much. I set it up using the
example given in the DocBook guide, so it was wrapped with mediaobject,
which I assume is correct.

Yes, matter of fact it is the html conversion I want to see it in...glad
you knew what I was looking for.
Don't audio types have to be defined somewhere? After all, all the
video and image file types are. Incidentally, I'd like to find out if
video will come out too (haven't tested myself, only audio so far).
I figured that trying to embed audio wouldn't be the most desirable
thing in an html conversion. I assume that the audio will play until
the browser window is closed, because there would be no way to shut it
off.
