Playing a background sound shouldn't require a specific plugin to work, it should be possible to make it play with the generic audio plugin that the browser has access to. Based on hits to my own site, about 30% are made by browsers that do not have the Flash plugin or have it disabled. Now, this may be thrown out a little by people visiting with Chrome, as I've yet to test my tracker there, but it's still quite a high figure. I think you would be hard pressed to find any browser without a plugin to play an mp3 file.
