I didn't say it was, nor did I recommend it -- I only pointed out the
embed tag was for Netscape and bgsound tag was used for other
browsers.

With that I agree as I have done here:

The audio CAPTCHA delivers the mp3 file that's assembled in the background.

But your audio is delivered through Flash, which adds another layer
where things can go wrong. 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.
Okay.
On one hand, I say that using <embed> and <bgsound> can deliver mp3
files, as shown here:
http://sperling.com/examples/captcha/
-- and it does work.
On the other hand, I say that I can deliver mp3 sound files via Flash
as shown here:
http://webbytedd.com/aa/assorted-captcha/
-- and it does work.
But, you find fault with both.
So, what and where's your example?
Cheers,
