that is to play in the background while the user visits the page. The
element is allowed only inside the <span class="literal">head</span> element.
With scripting, you can control the volume and how many times the
sound track plays even after the sound file loads. Although an end
tag is optional, there is no need for it because all specifications
for the sound are maintained by attributes in the start tag. Only the
<span class="literal">id</span> attribute is shared with other elements.
</p><p>If you are going to use this tag, I strongly recommend making the
background sound a user-selectable choice that is turned off by
default. In office environments, it can be startling (if not
embarrassing) to have background music or sounds unexpectedly emanate
from a computer. Also be aware that there is likely to be some delay
in the start of the music due to download time.
