3. Because audio files can be large, it??™s good practice to note the file size next to the link name, as
shown in Figure 27-4, or to enter it in the Alt text box for your image.
When you use the link technique for incorporating sound, you have no control over the position or appearance
of the player. However, you can control these factors and more by embedding your audio.

Embedding Sounds and Music
Embedding a sound file truly integrates the audio into your Web page. Embedding the sound file also gives
you a much greater degree of control over the presentation of the audio player itself, including the following:
n The clip??™s play volume
n Which part, if any, of the player??™s controls is visible
n The starting and ending points of the music clip
As with any other embedded object, you can present the visual display inline with other text elements??”
aligned to the top, middle, or bottom of the text, or blocked left or right to enable text to flow around it.
Dreamweaver controls all these parameters through two different objects: the Plugin object and the ActiveX
object.
