Is this a test?

I would guess that the software running the script is the browser that has the sound routines built in, but I could be wrong.

But, if I'm right, then how can js detect if the browser has sound capabilities?

For example, this is what js I have now:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var NSsound = navigator.plugins && navigator.plugins["LiveAudio"];
var IEsound = navigator.plugins && document.all;
var audioEnabled = NSsound || IEsound;
if (!audioEnabled)
alert("Your browser cannot play sound files.");
if (audioEnabled)
document.write("Let's take a look at the <CODE><FONT COLOR='#0000cc'>&lt;EMBED&gt;</FONT></CODE> tag in action (requires a sound-enabled browser):</P><EMBED SRC='xfiles.mid' AUTOSTART='false'HEIGHT='60' WIDTH='144'></P>");
else document.write("Your browser cannot play sound files.");
-->
</script>

However, in a sock Safari the sound files play if I don't rely on audioEnabled -- it don't work for detecting Safari and probably other browsers.

So, I would like to know if there is an "approved" way of doing this, is there?
