Attributes(what's this?)

src (required): The location of the audio file. It must be a URL value. If the audio is stored alongside the module, the file name itself can be used (e.g. "clip.mp3").

Note:
Starting with version 0.6, the CNXML language does not permit URLs that contain ampersand (&) characters (i.e., http://cnx.org/example?i=1&p=2). Check all object src URLs and replace any ampersands with the entity reference "&". More information can be found on the W3C's page.
mime-type (required): The MIME type of the audio. This requried value tells each visitor's browser what sort of information is contained in the audio file. A list of common Internet media MIME types can be found here.
for (optional): Specifies whether this object should be displayed in the online or PDF version of the content, or be used as the default media object. If there is no default object present, then the <media> element will only be displayed for the version(s) specified.
