You mean both of them? lol. I''ve played this game before, you won't get very broad support using the object method. I usually use Flash to insert sound, as it a) has more reliable support across different UA/OS combo's b) offers more control to you and the user.

Re: [WSG] Sound without Plug-in/HTML Sound?
Actually you can bypass the whole OBJECT code and just use Javascript. Below
is code I found
that goes right after the BODY tab (Not in the BODY tag). Just change the
var musicsrc to your
file.
Note this will be pure background music play. Meaning there is not audio
controller on the page.
script language=JavaScript type=text/JavaScript
!--
/* Background music script */
var musicsrc=http://www.designerconcreteconcepts.com/song.mp3;
if (navigator.appName==Microsoft Internet Explorer)
document.write('bgsound src='+''+musicsrc+''+' loop=infinite')
else
document.write('embed src=\'+musicsrc+'\ hidden=true border=0
width=20 height=20
autostart=true loop=true')
//--
/script
