HTML audio UI
HTML audio UI: Jason Kottke points out an effective set of audio controls in an HTML page. This Vanity Fair article has simple "Play" and "Stop" HTML text, inline to the audio description. When clicked, these call a JavaScript function in an external file which invokes a particular audio asset to play within an invisible SWF. (See JS files here, here.) Result: Straight HTML UI, reflowing naturally within the page, yet calling upon an invisible SWF for the rich-media aspects. I don't know the browser dependencies for this page, because not all permit browser/plugin intercommunication, but this usage seems like a clear shot, and offers a good, integrated reading experience.
