This probably won't be a popular opinion, but fwiw ...

Although the W3C would like us all to stick our heads in the sand and 
pretend <embed /> doesn't exist, it is (imho) the way to go -- it's a de 
facto standard. <embed />, by itself, works with all the browsers on 
jQuery's support list (it even works with express install in IE). In 
practice, you don't need to use <object /> at all.

If you're worried about validation, you can use js to insert the <embed 
/> (which you should probably do anyway to avoid the whole ie/eolas fiasco).

P.S. I'm working on a jQuery plugin along the lines of UFO or SWFObject, 
which I'll post soon :-)
