I believe it's because your FF on linux doesn't have the mp3 extension
tied to a plugin, but most everything seems to play .au files.

Actually, the boss wants the page to autoload the sound in the

showed in my original post does work on IE. Since it is a one time
joke for the boss
during a presentation, I will just leave it like that and have him use
IE .
Is the first time that I see where IE can do something that FF can not.
Everything I read, mentions that EMBED should work on other browsers.
Thanks for the info!!!I am not going to waste more time on this.

No no no, that's not complicated enough. Try using SoundManager2:
http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/
Since it uses Flash to play audio, it will work in any browser. Plus
you get javascript control over audio so you can put a big "mute"
button on the page.
Or you could wait for HTML5's <audio> tag. :-)
