[SWFObject] IE streaming audio does not auto play

Yeah this works when NOT using SWFObject. I have tried putting a
sobjectname.start(); in the actionscript on the sound.onLoad event and at
the very bottom of all the code so it would be ran after everything
initilized thinking it wasn't firing the auto-play because of the mp3 being
cached. I've noticed my current working version with pure embed/object isn't
caching the MP3, like it was when I used SWFObject.
