I don't totally agree as we use flash too, for specialized stuff like  
video playing.

For audio playback, especially just little sound effects, i find  
having to have an additional flash file and something like UFO a bit  
of an overkill, especially when native methods (or straight-forward  
plugins) are around that work just fine too.

Just be pragmatic, use what works (in the sense of that the user is  
happy and you're happy as a developer*). :)

Best,
Thomas

subversion!) isn't making me happy as a developer
